Evaptainers is an American-Moroccan company that creates the first refrigerators in the world that work only with water without the use of any other source of energy (electricity, solar ...) but only water, ideal for non-electrified rural areas and refugee camps.
Evaptainers uses the phenomenon of evaporative cooling, a technic that has proved its effectiveness and has been used for decades in traditional solutions such as the Zeer-pot or the ceramic water jar, which allows to triple or even quadruple the service life. food.
By combining the evaporative cooling phenomenon with modern design and innovative manufacturing materials, a clean, environmentally friendly and inexpensive cooling solution has been created to reach the most remote areas.
Our solution can be used by a wide range of users, farmers who are far from the city and move their crop to sell can keep their fruits and vegetables longer and earn more money for sale, rural families and refugee camps that often can not afford a conventional refrigerator and / or have no electricity can keep their food longer and avoid waste, street vendors can also use our solution to keep their goods cooler longer.

In Morocco and in African countries, agricultural cooperatives face difficulties with refrigeration during different stages of the agricultural supply chain. In particular, there is a lack of cooling solutions for product transportation in areas where modern refrigeration technologies are not available or too expensive. According to the FAO, these difficulties lead to a disproportionate deterioration of the products: 45% of the fruits and vegetables perish before being consumed, which causes a total loss of 4 billion dollars in Africa each year which can supply a quarter of the world population. Our solution is directly aimed at the problem of food loss. Thanks to our exclusive, totally eco-friendly technology that uses a low-cost model using evaporative cooling to keep foods two to three times longer.
Evaptainers combines the already tested evaporative cooling process with modern design to create an easily transportable and efficient cooling system that can be used in a wide variety of applications.
