Ethylene Control Inc I The Original Ethylene Removal Soluion Since 1986

Why Ethylene Control?

Ethylene Gas Removal for Produce, Floral and Cold Storage.

Sachets, filters, and filtration systems that absorb or neutralize ethylene gas (the natural ripening hormone in fruits/veggies that speeds up decay). This helps extend shelf life, often doubling it in storage, transit, or retail settings for things like apples, avocados, bananas, tomatoes, flowers, and more. We emphasize OMRI-listed (organic-approved) options, which is a big plus for organic growers, packers, and shippers.

Destroys and Prevents Mold, Rot, and Other Microbials

Beyond ethylene control, the patented media actively destroys microbial life, including molds, rots, bacteria, viruses, and pathogens like listeria. This dual action reduces decay incidence caused by fungi (e.g., Botrytis or Penicillium, common in stone fruits) and creates a less favorable environment for spoilage. Ethylene itself promotes fungal growth by weakening tissues; removing it combined with direct antimicrobial effects provides superior protection against molds and rots.

Additional Benefits

Odor Removal: Absorbs unwanted odors that can affect produce quality.
Organic Compatibility: OMRI Listed, making it ideal for organic produce and sustainable supply chains.
Proven Performance: Backed by independent research and real-world use in produce industries, with claims of reducing ethylene levels effectively and outperforming alternatives in microbial control.

For Quality Produce You Need:

Temperature Control Slows down accelerated spoilage.
Humidity Management Pevents dehydration, moisture loss, weight loss and shriveling
Ethylene Removal Slows down accelerated ripening, softening,decay, wilting and petal drop.
