A good harvest.
A precious moment.
Fresh produce carries the value of the land, water and work behind it. After harvest, the next few decisions matter.

A FRESHER FUTURE IS TAKING SHAPE.
EvaCRATEMeet EvaCRATE. A smarter approach to keeping produce fresh, giving growers more time, and making every harvest count.
Between the farm and the market, freshness is on the clock.
For growers with limited access to reliable cold storage, hot conditions and long journeys can turn good produce into lost value. We’re working on a practical storage layer for that critical gap.
Scroll through the idea, from the harvest to the possibilities ahead.

Meet the intended usersInsulation reduces incoming heat. A charged PCM layer absorbs energy as it changes phase. Explore the layers that make the concept work.
See the engineeringThe monitoring concept aims to make storage conditions clearer. Field trials will determine where the crate is useful and what it can deliver.
See the evidence planInsulation slows heat. Phase-change material absorbs it. Simple monitoring helps people understand what is happening inside.

Less lost food can also mean less wasted water, land, energy and effort. That is the cleantech opportunity we want to test.
