ColdEasy (Temperate Technologies) Information

ColdEasy develops cooling and cold storage systems engineered for low-resource environments in the Global South. Designed specifically for small farmers and vendors, our solutions feature a minimal physical and environmental footprint, integrate seamlessly within existing structures and supply chains, require no refrigerants, and consume significantly less energy than conventional systems. These are not mere adaptations of existing products — they are patented designs built from the ground up around the specific constraints of environments we operate in. ColdEasy Box is a decentralized micro-cooled storage solution for fruits, vegetables, and flowers. It is a compact and modular solution that doubles the shelf-life and reduces weight loss by 80%. It uses patented SEEC (Structurally Enhanced Evaporative Cooling) technology that works without electricity and creates airflow without a fan or motor. The end-users, street vendors and small retailers, report a daily income increase of ₹100-150 corresponding to a payback period of 1-2 months. ColdEasy Onion Keeper is a controlled-environment storage solution that maintains optimal conditions for long-term onion storage. It regulates temperature, humidity, airflow and ventilation, and has completely automated operation and web-based monitoring. It reduces spoilage and weight loss, allowing higher quality, longer shelf-life and better price realization. It reduces storage losses from 30-60% in ambient storage to 10-15% over 6 months with low operating cost of less than Re 1/kg.
