Planet Farms
Planet Farms
Planet Farms is a leading vertical farming company, founded in 2018 in Milan, that has developed a vertical cultivation system unique in the world, allowing the perfect harmonization of all the fundamental parameters for cultivating rich in taste and highly nutritious greens.
The union of world-class technology and the best of Italian agronomic tradition offers a concrete, scalable answer to the need for greens that are healthy, high quality, available all year round, affordable for everyone, and have low environmental impact.
Planet Farms represents a fully integrated supply chain, where a seed enters and a finished product comes out.
A virtuous system of food production capable of guaranteeing food safety and responding to sudden climatic shocks that risk jeopardizing regular food supply.
Planet Farms was born out of an idea of Luca Travaglini, immediately embraced by the co-founder, co-CEO, and lifelong friend Daniele Benatoff. The project journey begins with a research and development initiative within Luca’s family business Travaglini S.p.A and today can count on the support of industrial and strategic partners which includes large companies and mainly Italian entrepreneurs.
After 4 years of research and development and an investment of several million euros, Planet Farms has constructed, near Milan in Cavenago di Brianza, the largest vertical farm in Europe, one of the largest and most advanced in the world, in terms of technology and automation.
The 10,000 square meter plant has been designed by Studio Dordoni Architects and it will be followed by the creation of at least another five new plants between Italy and Europe.
Planet Farms has the ambition to constitute the new agricultural paradigm, for the benefit of everyone, without compromise.

Better Nature
Better Nature
At Better Nature, we dare to be different. Guided by our Indonesian roots and tempeh know-how, we’ve become experts at making simple things extraordinarily better… naturally. We’ve learned to do more with less.
Since Better Nature’s founding in early 2019, we’ve won 5 international Food Tech competitions, including the Best Startup of the Cohort at the ProVeg Incubator, Europe’s leading alternative protein incubator programme, and the Most Innovative Alternative Food Ingredient Award at Food Ingredients Europe 2019. We were also one of just six startups invited by the Good Food Institute to present on the mainstage of the Good Food Conference 2019, the world’s largest alternative protein conference.
Beyond our achievements in innovation, we’ve also been busy building the UK’s leading tempeh brand. We’re now listed in over 200 independent retailers, are Mindful Chef’s primarily tempeh supplier, and are one of Amazon’s best-selling meat-free brands. We’re also active in foodservice, supplying brands such as Lion’s Prep, Feelgood Kitchen, The Vurger Co. and more.
Our mission is to make everyone feel and be well by making nourishing food accessible to all. With our range of accessible tempeh-based products that are naturally nutritious, delicious and sustainably-produced, our aim is to establish the tempeh category in the UK and would love to work with leading retailers and foodservice outlets to do so.

Bottle Up
Bottle Up
Spring water in a uniquely designed reusable bottle, made from sugar cane.
Water on the go is not going away. And why should it? These days, it’s part of our carefree, active lifestyles. The convenience of bottled water is great! It’s the wastefulness that has to go. Instead of asking people to change their lifestyle, we changed the bottle.
Our bottle is better. It’s made from renewable sugar cane, which is better for the planet. It’s BPA free so you can reuse it again and again, which reduces single-use plastics. And it’s filled with pure spring water, so it’s always refreshing.
Bottle Up is water on the go, without the woes.
Our bottles are made entirely from sugar cane. We chose sugar cane, because it’s a low impact crop, requiring little to no fertilizer or additional irrigation. Sugar cane as the name implies, is where we get sugar. But that’s not all we get.
Once all the sweet stuff is squeezed out, the remaining pulp, called bagasse, can then be used as fuel, feed, fertilizer, or in our case, turned into durable plant-based plastic.
Bottle Up is 100% BPA Free.
That means you can reuse it again and again. Refill it for your daily commute, your weekend bike trip, or just keep a full Bottle Up in your bag as an emergency goldfish resuscitation system, or to put out tiny forest fires. But the best part is, you’ll never need a single-use bottle again.
Think global. Drink local.
We don’t drag our water halfway across the world from sacred Polynesian springs. Why?
Two reasons.
1. Because Polynesians need their own water.
2. Because it’s stupid.
Our water comes from local sources, close to where it’s sold. Less transport means less CO2, and that means less global warming. Bottle Up cools, and refreshes in more ways than one. Clever aye?
Bottle Up is currently stocked nationally by WHSmith & Morrisons. Watch this space though, as Bottle Up could soon come to a chiller near you!

Searching for a sustainable solution to preserve the compliancy during the whole chain?
Etheclo strongly believes that everyone on the globe deserves access to healthy food and medication.
We can offer you a reusable, recyclable isothermal box for the first and last mile deliveries of your temperature sensitive goods: cold, frozen and even hot.
Our boxes can be equipped with our sensors that communicate with Etheclomonitor, our cloud platform that allows you to monitor your goods by means of your PC, tablet or smartphone from any place in the world by a simple password or API connection.
Ethecloboxes and sensors are actually used by multiple retailers and merchants for the home delivery of their groceries but are also used at pickup points, and in parcel lockers.
Recently, the most important distributor of pharmaceutical products in Belgium, preferred our concept above various competitors because of the flexibility and reliability of our solution, which can be used as well in electric vehicles as in cargo bikes or vans.
Furthermore, our sensors can be applied independently in fridges, freezers, or greenhouses to monitor temperature, humidity and light conditions of vegetables.
Interesting and appealing for your business? In that case, don’t hesitate to come along and visit or contact us!
