Ethylene Filters & Ethylene Absorbent Sachets – BioXTEND Solutions for Fresh-Produce Protection.


At BioXTEND, we recognise that ethylene gas plays a key role in post-harvest spoilage: it accelerates ripening, increases decay and shortens shelf life. Our mission is to provide cost-efficient, user-friendly and eco-friendly solutions to control ethylene levels and thereby protect the value of your fresh produce supply chain.

Ethylene Filters

The BXT Filtro(S) De Etileno (models such as BXT100, BXT75) are designed for high-volume, large-scale applications: cold storage rooms, refrigerated containers, trailers and pallets.

  • They’re cylindrical single-use filters packed with a proprietary blend of active media to remove ethylene, bacteria and mould from the storage/transport atmosphere.

  • Key features: compatibility with organic produce (certified under NOP/EU), non-toxic, eco-friendly exhausted residue that can be discarded or used as organic fertiliser.

  • Simple installation: the filter is placed in the air-return area of the cooling system for optimal performance.

  • Using ethylene filters means you can maintain airflow, avoid interference with cooling systems, and extend shelf life while controlling spoilage.

Ethylene Absorbent Sachets

For closer-range, batch or box-level protection, the Ethylene Absorbent Sachets are ideal.

  • These are single-use sachets in standard sizes (3 g, 5 g, 10 g) and also available in customised weights/dimensions.

  • Designed to be placed inside cartons, trays or packaging, and they continuously absorb ethylene, bacteria and mould spores from packing to retail shelf.

  • They are approved for organic use (USDA/NOP & EU), have food-grade packaging, are highly porous, 100% recyclable and eco-friendly.

  • Benefit: you help preserve freshness, colour, weight and overall quality of fruits and vegetables while in transit or storage.

Why Choose BioXTEND?

  • Full-spectrum ethylene control: filters for large volumes + sachets for boxed/packaged goods.

  • Proven technology and certified quality under ISO9001:2015, organic compliant.

  • Eco-conscious design: exhausted media safe for regular disposal or fertiliser reuse.

  • Practical and flexible: options for customization (weight, size, form) to fit your operational needs.

  • By integrating both ethylene filters and absorbent sachets into your supply chain, you can greatly reduce spoilage, maintain product quality and extend shelf life from packing house to retail shelf.

If you’d like a version tailored for Spanish-speaking markets or a shorter marketing blurb, I’d be happy to adapt it.

Protecting Freshness in Transit: Ethylene Filters & Absorbents by BioXTEND

Image
Are you in the business of crisp apples or delicate avocados? If yes, you can understand that these produce continues to live and breathe long after harvesting. A natural byproduct of this living process is ethylene. It is a colorless, odorless gas. This accelerates ripening and aging. While essential in controlled ripening, unchecked ethylene in storage or transit can lead to spoilage, weight loss, and reduced quality. BioXTEND, a company rooted in post-harvest science, offers a range of products— Ethylene Filter(s) and ethylene absorbent sachets—designed to reduce ethylene levels and preserve freshness across the supply chain. Why Ethylene Control Matters Ethylene acts as a ripening hormone. In confined spaces such as containers or storage rooms, this gas spreads throughout the produce, hastening the aging process and creating economic losses. Symptoms of ethylene exposure include softening, yellowing, weight loss, and diminished flavor. Left uncontrolled, ethylene can cost the...

BioXTEND: Leading The Way in Ethylene Absorbing Solutions For Fresh Produce.

Image
Fruits, veggies, and flowers travel far before we eat them. Keeping them fresh is a big challenge. Ethylene gas, a plant hormone, makes them ripen faster. Without control, ethylene causes spoilage and waste. It also lowers the quality of food. The BioXTEND Approach to Ethylene Absorption BioXTEND started in 2010 in Fort Myers, Florida. They aim to stop ethylene spoilage with green solutions. They're a global leader in ethylene control.BioXTEND's success comes from their Ethylene Absorbent tech. It uses oxidizing agents to remove ethylene. This slows down ripening and keeps food fresh longer. A Wide Range of Ethylene Absorbing Products BioXTEND has many products for different needs. Their ethylene-absorbing sachets are popular. They come in various sizes for different types of produce. Their BXT Shield is a flat filter for pallets. It's plastic-free and absorbs ethylene and pathogens. It's good for shipping produce. For big containers, BioXTEND has BXT100 and ...

Why Choose BioXTEND® Ethylene Filters: A Sustainable Solution for Fresh Produce Preservation.

Image
  BioXTEND® offers innovative ethylene control solutions that are both effective and environmentally friendly. Ethylene (C₂H₄) is a natural gas that most fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers release as part of their ripening process. It has no smell or color but plays a major role in how fast produce ripens and ages. Besides being produced by plants, Ethylene Gas can also come from outside sources. It is commonly found in the air around us due to pollution—especially from vehicle exhaust, propane-powered forklifts, poorly vented greenhouse heaters, and industrial activity. While ripening fruits are known to release ethylene, it’s important to know that many other parts of the plant can also produce it. This includes healthy stems and leaves, cut or damaged plant parts, and even infected or decaying plant tissue. After harvest, fruits, vegetables, and flowers are still living and breathing. As they do, they continue to release ethylene, which can speed up ripening, cause wilti...
