Onza's mission
to improve global health and wellness through its proprietary gas-to-solid technology
Since the dawn of time, the power of beneficial gases have been muted due to the limitations of their gaseous form–until now.
By trapping gas in a crystal matrix, or clathrate, Onza has unlocked a new world where gases can serve planetary well being in food and agriculture, healthcare and beyond.
The first stable form of ozone.
Onza’s first gas vertical is Ozone. Unlike its gas form which has a half life of about 15 minutes, our proprietary technology stabilizes ozone into a solid, crystal form, allowing it to be stored, transported and slow-released when activated. For the first time, industries can harness ozone’s powerful antimicrobial properties without relying on expensive on-site generation systems. The result is longer shelf life for food products, a safer food supply, reduced waste across the supply chain, and a simpler, more practical way to deploy one of nature’s most effective disinfectants.
Working To Improve Lives Through Creative Food Safety Solutions
The Problem
Each year, billions of pounds of food are lost to spoilage, while bacteria, pathogens, and contamination continue to threaten safety across the food supply chain. Although ozone is highly effective at fighting these issues, it has traditionally been difficult to store or transport because of its instability. The world needs a better way to harness the power of ozone.
Strengthening global food systems.
By extending shelf life and improving food safety, stabilized ozone helps reduce waste and protect the quality of food moving through the global supply chain.
The Solution
Onza’s first commercial product, FreshSure, harnesses the power of ozone — a naturally occurring, FDA- and USDA-approved antimicrobial agent — in solid form. Where ozone gas once dissipated within minutes, Onza has successfully stored it for over two and a half years. FreshSure’s crystalized ozone can be incorporated directly into food packaging to extend shelf life, reduce foodborne pathogens, and prevent costly product recalls.
How
Incorporated directly into food package from large harvest bins, to distribution boxes and through to consumer packaging via sachets of crystalized Ozone.
Who
Everyone who produces, packages, sells, buys, stores, or eats food.
Why
Because food waste, public safety, access to food, and recalls matter.

What does the future of gas-to-solid technology hold?
Our patented technology for trapping gases is not limited to ozone only, it opens up new uses and markets for many gases already widely accepted and in use today. Applications will extend to fields such as internal and external medicine, water treatment, consumer and commercial products, surface and environment sterilization, and applications yet to be discovered. Onza’s technology is a platform that will have a disruptive impact, and push the boundaries of what is possible in many industries.
