Nothing dampens the spirit like discovering your favourite groceries spoiling a little too early in the fridge and ending up in the trash.

Enter Fridge Friend, the brainchild of the father-son duo Jon and Nick who are committed to  fighting food waste by preventing premature disposal. Fridge Friend is an unassuming yet effective commercial-grade filter for your fridge that prevents early spoilage by absorbing contaminants and controlling humidity level. 

Remarkably non-toxic and user friendly, this gadget has proven to extend food freshness up to 169%!

Unlocking the secrets and endless benefits of Fridge Friends

The magic behind Fridge Friend comes from a simple science of food preservation and a gas called ethylene that’s present in every fresh fruits and vegetables.

Ethylene is a natural plant hormone produced by fruits and vegetables as they ripen or age. While this process is entirely natural, ethylene can kickstart a ripening chain reaction in nearby produce, creating a domino effect in your fridge. This results in accelerated ageing and a shorter shelf life for your fruits and vegetables.

In addition to this prickly gas, bacteria and moisture also play a part in damaging your produce. Bacteria that slips from the air outside your fridge as well as the food you store leads to premature spoilage and even food contamination. Similarly, unregulated humidity levels can pose multiple challenges; insufficient humidity results in loss of flavours and texture,while excessive humidity accelerates spoilage.

This is where Fridge Friend comes in. With its all-natural mineral compound, distinct three-dimensional honeycomb structure, and microscopic molecular crystalline pores, Fridge Friends acts as a molecular sieve. It absorbs and filters contaminated water molecules before releasing them back into the fridge as purified water particles.

Based on scientific testing, Fridge Friend is able to absorb up to 79% of ethylene, removes 85% airborne bacteria and odours, and absorb 48% of the fridge’s weight in moisture. This translates to a significant extension of shelf life for stored items and reduces your refrigerator running time by 25%. 

Lengthening shelf life is not only highly essential to reduce food waste; it also helps trim your grocery budget. On average, efficient produce storage can save your household up to $852 per year!
