Introducing FreshSure, the smart food container solution designed to revolutionize food storage and reduce food waste. We were inspired by our personal experience of cleaning out the fridge at the end of the week with all the wasted food. After researching and learning there is no current product on the market to achieve such a task, we aimed to create a product that could provide users with simple visual feedback to inform them of food expiration to eliminate the guesswork associated with organic decomposition.

The FreshSure container integrates temperature, pressure, and Co2 to estimate the decomposition of the user's food. Over time, all foods release a different amount of CO2 into the air as they go bad. To tackle this, we have our sensors set a baseline when food is put into the container and calculate the rate of change of the Co2 release over time. With a high rate of change, the user would be notified of their food's rapid decay. The data is then calculated, analyzed by processing software, and relayed to its companion app, where all the info is neatly displayed. Within the companion app, our users can track all food stored in a FreshSure container, with various features, including a Fresh Sure community where you can share recipes and food with an AI that can give you an estimated date of food expiration.
