K-dle

Eco-friendly Packaging Cushion for Fresh Produce

About K-dle

K-dle is a reusable, biodegradable fruit cushion made from natural rubber latex — created to replace single-use plastic foam nets.

Developed by Material Innovation & Solution Co., Ltd. (MI&S), a Thai sustainability-focused startup, K-dle replaces single-use plastic foam nets with a more environmentally responsible alternative.

Created in response to farmers’ requests for a cradle-shaped protector, K-dle helps reduce fruit bruising while lowering plastic waste in the supply chain.

We collaborate closely with farmers and post-harvest researchers to ensure our solutions address real-world needs — from orchard to export logistics.

Innovative Solution for a True Sustainability

K-dle aims to solve the problem of plastic waste in fruit transportation by developing gentle yet effective produce protection that is "kind to fruits, care for the planet." This video showcases our process and the superior protection our natural materials offer compared to traditional plastic foam nets.
