Globally Recognized and Registered

AgroFresh is committed to the regulations of each country. So far, registrations have been obtained in over 45 countries worldwide. Registrations include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. and the European Union. As worldwide demand for our products and services continues to grow, AgroFresh continuously seeks new registrations.

Residue Free

AgroFresh's 1-MCP technologies do not leave any residues neither in or on the fruit, or in the environment. The explanation is simple: The active ingredient is comprised of a simple carbon and hydrogen molecule. After it attaches to the ethylene receptor site, it is broken down by the fruit's natural process and biodegrades into simple molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which are naturally present in the atmosphere.
