In the battle against climate change, reducing food waste is a crucial front. Our innovative products, Everidge UV Pro by Aerapy disinfection system and SmartRite Walk-In Monitoring System, are designed to extend the shelf life of perishables, reduce waste, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
- Extending Shelf Life with UV Technology
UV systems can significantly extend the shelf life of perishable foods by reducing the microbial load, which slows down spoilage and decay. Ultraviolet (UV) light effectively inactivates bacteria, viruses, and molds on food surfaces without the use of chemicals. This not only keeps food fresher for longer but also reduces the frequency of food recalls due to contamination[1].
- Reducing Foodborne Illnesses
UV treatment enhances food safety by reducing pathogens, leading to fewer food recalls and less waste. By inactivating harmful microorganisms, UV systems prevent contamination that could render food inedible. This ensures that the food reaching consumers is safe and of high quality[1].
- Minimizing Waste in Supply Chains
Implementing UV systems in storage and transportation reduces spoilage during transit. UV technology can be used in cold storage facilities and transport containers to maintain product quality. This minimizes waste and ensures that more food reaches its intended destination in optimal condition[1].
- Environmental Impact Reduction
Less food waste means fewer methane emissions from landfills, mitigating climate change effects. Food waste decomposition in landfills produces methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than CO₂. By reducing food waste, we can significantly lower our carbon footprint[2].
- Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
UV systems are energy-efficient and reduce the need for refrigeration and chemical preservatives. By lowering energy consumption, UV technology contributes to a smaller carbon footprint in food preservation. This makes our products not only effective but also environmentally friendly[2].
- SmartRite Monitoring System
The SmartRite Walk-In Monitor System by Everidge raises the bar in the walk-in refrigeration industry. The system preserves quality, promotes safety, and reduces energy costs by ensuring your walk-in is more energy-efficient and your product remains safe and cold. Additionally, the SmartRite system offers cloud monitoring of RH%, temperature, and alarms via WiFi, making it a highly customizable solution to meet specific needs.
By integrating Everidge UVPro by Aerapy technology and the Everidge SmartRite monitoring system into food storage, businesses can play a pivotal role in reducing food waste. This not only leads to operational efficiencies and cost savings but also contributes to mitigating climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions from landfills[2][1].
