Environmental sustainability is an important value of the RipeLocker team. RipeLockers are made from recyclable materials and are reusable. They slow the decay and senescence process to reduce the amount of produce that is wasted.
The use of RipeLockers also enables produce and flower growers to ship via ocean vs. air, resulting in 44x fewer carbon emissions. In addition, because RipeLockers enable bulk shipments, they can reduce the overall use of packaging.
