This press release is a dream sent out by a business operator who sympathizes with the April Dream project and wants to make April 1st a day full of dreams, hoping to make them come true.
Cold Storage Japan Co., Ltd. is a venture company that realizes physical internet in the refrigeration and freezing field by utilizing small-sized cold storage developed in-house. By making refrigerated storage and distribution of foodstuffs and medicines easier, we will provide clues to solving various social problems that have been unsolvable until now, not only in Japan but all over the world. Our company aims to make April 1st the day to send out dreams.
I agree with Dream. This press release is a dream of Cold Storage Japan Co., Ltd.
* [Food waste issues reach 10% of global food production] *
Currently, in areas where refrigerated and frozen distribution is not well-reached, various problems are occurring, including food waste and difficulty in securing safe food. According to data published by UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), food waste caused by the lack of a cold chain reaches 10% of the world’s total production. Cold Storage Japan takes on the challenge of solving this social problem by utilizing small-sized cold storage (refrigerated and frozen warehouses) developed in-house.
* [Possibility of Japan’s first refrigerated trailer] *
Our company has developed a “cold storage box portable” (design registration 1730009, JP 2022-184826) that can be towed by a regular passenger car and used with a 100V household power source. This allows it to be introduced at a low cost and in a short period of time, making it easy to implement your own refrigerated and frozen storage in a variety of situations.
This enables refrigerated and frozen storage in production areas such as mountainous areas, remote islands, and developing countries where the power supply network is insufficient, making it possible to store foodstuffs that could not be distributed due to lack of freshness after harvest. transportation becomes possible.
In addition, in consumption areas, the increase in the amount that can be stored frozen and refrigerated at stores and other consumption sites is expected to improve logistics efficiency and reduce the number of times of distribution and transportation distance. It is hoped that this will provide a clue to reducing CO2 emissions and solving the 2024 logistics problem, which is currently a major social issue.
[World’s first off-grid refrigerated warehouse]
We have also developed a refrigerated trailer with off-grid
specifications. By installing solar panels and batteries, we have made it possible to achieve refrigerated and frozen storage even in locations without power.
As a result, even in the event of a power outage such as in the event of a disaster, the refrigerated trailer can be moved to the site by regular vehicle and stored in refrigerated areas such as evacuation centers where people gather. It will be possible to ensure safety and security through food, such as reducing the risk of food poisoning in evacuation centers and storing frozen foods.
In addition, it will be possible to easily store food and water in developing countries where electricity grids are not widespread, improving the quality of people’s lives. In fact, by installing this container-shaped product (Mofreshbox) in Kigali City, Rwanda, in areas where there is insufficient electricity, it is possible to reduce food waste after harvesting and also to enable distribution while maintaining freshness. There are cases where farmers’ incomes have been improved.
* [Spreading safety around the world with off-grid refrigerated trailers] * By developing and supporting the use of compact cold storage, which has never existed before, we hope to greatly improve the lives of people living in various places around the world, and to spread food and life safety around the world. .
