YAK CHIL

YAK CHIL is an at-home produce storage device that prevents waste of fresh fruits and veggies by prolonging their shelf life.

This cooling device uses innovative shape, material, and organization allowing for improved airflow and ethylene gas filtration*. Evaporative cooling techniques from ancient Persia keep produce fresher, longer than in a standard refrigerator without the use of electricity.

American households waste 25% of the groceries they purchase; fresh produce being the most wasted, taking up 36% of the 77 billion pounds these households waste each year. [ReFED.com]
