B!POD proudly introduces DRO!D – a unique and high-performance food vacuum system that will revolutionize the way you store and preserve your food. Fourty-two percent of food waste in Europe alone comprises of household food waste. Every kilogram of discarded food causes 4.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission into the atmosphere. DRO!D empowers you with a minimal effort process, allowing you to store and preserve your food up to five times longer with the help of its set of circular rigid containers. B!POD, the consumer innovation division of SAES, which specializes in innovative materials that foster better integration between humans and nature, understands the importance of food preservation and sustainability. DRO!D achieves a vacuum of 50 mbar in 30 seconds, eliminating 950 mbar corresponding to -95% of the oxygen molecules within the larger container.
B!POD is here to help keep food as youthful
Vacuum storage technology blocks the food oxidation process and guards the food’s nutrition, organoleptic properties, colour, odour and texture. Plus, it prevents the formation of frost, helping avoid freezer burns and watered-down food after defrosting. Vacuum storage also enhances marinating, allowing for a better absorption of the seasoning, as well as preventing moisture loss from food. It is an energy-efficient process requiring one-fifth the energy needed to make a coffee capsule. DRO!D’s aesthetically pleasing circular rigid containers are available in a range of sizes and are BPA-free materials as well as MOCA certified for food safety. Not to mention, they can be nestled and stacked inside the standard-sized refrigerator, and the transparent lids are of Tritan. A BPA-free material created through a sustainable production and disposal process.
Crafted out of recyclable ABS plastic, this device requires no screws, glue nor excessive materials. Also, its design allows for easy recycling. Moreover, DRO!D tries to avoid flexible plastic bags until a compostable/biodegradable material with the same performance can be formulated. With its eco-friendly approach, this device is estimated to save 300 non-recyclable plastic bags per person. Moreover, this amounts to 30 kilograms of CO2 emission in the atmosphere. Praised for its design, production and assembly, DRO!D is a uniquely Italian product.
