You’ve got a friend in Fridge Friend®
Why do I need a Fridge Friend?
The average Australian wastes around 312 kilograms of food every year.
That’s one in every five bags of groceries, every week ending up in landfill – or around $2,200 to $2,500 a year wasted!
We did the math and found that with Fridge Friend, you can save up to $800 per year.
But it’s not too late!
We can save the planet (and your wallet), one fridge at a time! Take the leap towards a cleaner and better environment with a reliable friend by your side (or, at least, inside your fridge).
We've got a great Aussie backstory for you too!
Father/son duo Jon and Nic Roberts started working on Fridge Friend® as co-founders back in 2019 with the mission of creating a sustainable, affordable and effective solution to food waste.
Fridge Friend® is 100% Australian owned and operated.
Here’s what we’ve been up to!
FAQs
Is the Fridge Friend® safe?
Absolutely! We wouldn't want anything funky going on in your fridge. Our Fridge Friend® is completely non-toxic and safe to use. It's like having a trustworthy guardian angel for your produce, ensuring it stays fresh and delicious.
Where do I put my Fridge Friends®?
To get the most of your Fridge Friends®, we recommend placing one in the crisper drawer, one in the main part of your fridge and one in the freezer (to reduce ice build-up).
Make sure wherever you place your Fridge Friend®, it has plenty of airflow around it and is not covered up by produce or other items in your fridge.
Modern fridges have excellent airflow, so placement is not critical however we always suggest placing Fridge Friend® as close to the majority of your fresh produce.
How many Fridge Friends® do I need?
Most of our customers purchase two or three Fridge Friends.
Ideally you’ll have Fridge Friends in:
1. A crisper drawer (close to the majority of your fresh produce),
2. One in the main section of the fridge (to look after any fresh produce not in the crisper drawer and reduce odours)
3. And in the freezer (to reduce ice build up and smelly ice syndrome 🙂).
Here is a guide that will help you.
Do I need to buy replacement filters?
Not with our Fridge Friend®! We've designed it to be hassle-free and cost-effective. No need for refills or replacements, because this gem of a filter will last 3 years, guaranteed. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
What mineral is used in Fridge Friend?
Well, it's NOT activated charcoal, bicarb soda, or Potassium permanganate.
Fridge Friend uses a unique, proprietary blend of natural minerals, carefully selected for their effectiveness in extending the life of fresh produce by absorbing ethylene (the natural hormone released by produce as they ripen), bacteria, odours and excess moisture in fridges.
Our commercial division, www.ecofreshfilters.com, has used this mineral in commercial cool rooms in cafes, restaurants, and pubs since 2013.
The specific minerals and their proportions are part of our exclusive formula, similar to how brands like Coca-Cola or KFC keep their recipes secret. This unique blend is a crucial part of what makes Fridge Friend an innovative solution for reducing food waste and the cost of living for families.
How do I look after my Fridge Friend®?
Ah, the care and feeding of your Fridge Friend®! It's pretty simple, really.
Once you've set up your Fridge Friend, just place it in your fridge, as close to the majority of your fresh produce, and let it work its magic.
No need for any special attention. It's a low-maintenance friendship that brings you fresh produce.
Simply zap it in my microwave (or use a conventional oven) once a month for 20-seconds and you're good to go for another 30 days! You can also use a conventional oven, full details here.
What if I'm not happy with my Fridge Friend®?
Well, that would break our hearts, but we understand that not every friendship is a perfect match. That's why we offer a 90-day money-back guarantee as well as a 3 year replacement warranty.
If you're not satisfied with your Fridge Friend®, just let us know, and we'll sort things out. We're here to keep you and your produce happy!
