Vitesy launched a new smart purifier fit for the inner shelves of a fridge titled 'Shelfy.' This purifier, according to Vitesy, can significantly extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables stored in the fridge. The Shelfy is battery-operated and uses nanomolecular photocatalytic technology to reduce bacterias that are commonly associated with the food spoilage process.
The removal of these bacteria contributes to increased shelf life and reduced food costs over time. According to Vitesy, more than 108 billion pounds of food is wasted in the United States each year, totaling over $218 billion USD in costs for United States-based consumers. To make this value apply to the average consumer more accurately, this works out to roughly $2,000 USD lost in food waste annually per customer, which Vitesy's Shelfy can contribute to reducing.
