Waste from wine production can be put to good use.

But wine left in opened bottles is generally discarded after 3 days because of oxidation or loss of quality. That’s $1.5 billion dollars of wine wasted each year in America alone.

Enter a female founder and her startup’s patented new solution. Her innovation comprises a silicon stopper lid and a smart, wireless vacuum pump.

When the pump is placed on the open stopper lid it automatically creates the optimal air pressure for preservation.

Once the vacuum process is complete the pump is removed and the lid secured for the perfect seal. Meaning wine can be preserved for weeks without spoiling.

Waste from orange juice production, meanwhile, is rather becoming.
