Batch Organics offers On-the-Go Nutrition
The easy availability of on-the-go consumption leads to meal irregularity and increases the consumption of fast unhealthy foods. Such habits lower daily nutritional intake and potentially lead to serious health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. To tackle this, startups combine convenient packaging and nutritional products. This enables people to snack on fruits and vegetables instead of food and beverages high in fats, sugar, and sodium.
British startup Batch Organics provides convenient and healthy food. The startup develops and delivers fruit, vegetable, and organic beverage packages for on-the-go and home consumption, as well as for restaurants and workspaces.

Sineo Packaging works on Sustainable Packaging
The convenience of on-the-go consumption drives the demand for single-use packaging. This leads to a significant increase in plastic waste. However, the changing public concerns over sustainability pressure packaging manufacturers to seek alternatives to plastics. As a result, both major enterprises and startups develop sustainable packaging solutions.
Emirati startup Sineo Packaging develops sustainable packaging solutions for retail and e-commerce. The startup works on biodegradable and compostable materials for takeout containers, cups, bowls, plates, and wrapping paper.

MYR develops a Point-of-Service (POS) System
