1.2 Describe your business activities

Drysaen is a sustainability focused materials innovation company developing biodegradable dry-tech solutions designed to preserve food freshness and reduce household food waste. The company develops natural moisture control systems using plant based materials such as rice husk fiber, coconut coir, bamboo fiber, and natural antimicrobial botanicals. Drysaen's primary product innovation is a biodegradable moisture absorption system integrated into food storage solutions such as jar caps and natural absorber cartridges. These systems regulate humidity inside food containers to prevent mold growth, reduce odor, and extend the shelf life of dry foods such as grains, spices, snacks, and pantry items. The company operates with a circular design philosophy, using agricultural by-products and biodegradable materials to create sustainable alternatives to conventional moisture absorbers such as silica gel. Drysaen's long term goal is to build a global dry-tech ecosystem that enables safer food storage while reducing plastic waste and chemical desiccants used in households.

2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.

Drysaen is developing biodegradable dry-tech materials designed to reduce household food waste and replace synthetic desiccants such as silica gel. Because Drysaen’s products are designed using low energy plant-based materials, the majority of lifecycle emissions will occur in supply chain sourcing and manufacturing. The company plans to reduce emissions by prioritizing low-carbon agricultural materials, biodegradable packaging, and energy-efficient production partners. Drysaen intends to measure emissions intensity relative to revenue and product output as the company scales. The company also plans to integrate circular design principles so that product components can be composted or returned to the soil after use.

5.4 Provide descriptions/names of your solutions:

Drysaen Meal is a biodegradable moisture control disc designed for household food storage containers. The product absorbs excess humidity inside jars and containers to prevent moisture damage, mold growth, and food spoilage. By extending the shelf life of stored food such as grains, snacks, spices, and tea leaves, Drysaen helps reduce household food waste. Preventing food waste reduces emissions associated with food production, agricultural inputs, transport, and landfill decomposition. The product replaces non biodegradable moisture absorbers such as silica gel or synthetic desiccants with plant based and compostable materials.
