GreenBox

GreenBox is a brand of the social enterprise ETS MVUTU, specialising in green cold chain, providing local farmers and traders with practical conservation services to help reduce post-harvest losses starting with Congo. Farmers will store their agricultural products in our solar powered cold storage technology.

The energy from the solar panels mounted on the roof of the cold room is stored in large capacity batteries, these batteries power an inverter which in turn powers the refrigeration unit.

The GreenBox mobile off-grid cold room is versatile. The cold room accommodates fresh fish and medical equipment such as vaccines in some cases. GreenBox is currently the first social enterprise to offer an off-grid cold chain solution to small farmers and traders in Congo using the Pay-As-You-Store model.
