Frequently Asked Questions

GreenLifeTech™ uses a simple, safe, and scalable technology to eliminate atmospheric oxygen to deliver a new and economical means of extending the consumable life of organic materials using no harmful chemicals or needing any replacement parts. The technology is applicable across a variety of markets, including fresh food, wine, flowers, coffee, meats, clothing, pharmaceuticals, and medical consumables such as transfusion blood.

Yes, very safe, as no harmful chemicals or additives are used, and when the oxygen is removed from the container, it is simply placed back into the air, conserving the environment. 

The time required is a function of the initial amount of air in the container. In general, cycle times for a refrigerator crisper drawer would typically be about 3 minutes, while a small portable container may require only 30 seconds. 

The ripening process requires the presence of ethylene (a product of the fresh produce) and oxygen. Without oxygen, the ripening process is delayed. 

The GreenLifeTech™ technology allows for the use of small concentrations of ozone to kill bacteria, mold, and other foodborne pathogens.  

Yes, ozone has been approved by the FDA for use in food sanitization. We use a very low concentration, which quickly decays back into breathable oxygen. This process leaves no film or residue and is environmentally friendly. However, the user can select to turn off ozone generation if desired. 

Whole transfusion blood, like any other organic material, decays in the presence of oxygen. Commercial blood bags, which are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), allow for the penetration of oxygen. By placing these bags in a low-oxygen environment, we stop this oxygen penetration and increase shelf life. 

Yes, GreenLifeTech™ has 9 pending patents.
