Ethylene gas is given off naturally by fruits and vegetables as a signalling mechanism in order to coordinate uniform ripening. However, once concentrated in your refrigerator or other storage areas, the presence of ethylene gas continues to speed up ripening and hasten spoilage.
The Bluapple® is designed to provide effective ethylene gas absorption for three months in a typical home refrigerator produce bin or storage container. The active ingredient does not "wear out", but continues to absorb ethylene until it has reached its capacity. A One Year Refill Kit rounds out the Bluapple® ethylene gas management product line, allowing consumers to reuse Bluapples® and not add them to landfills.
Here in South Africa we are pretty limited in choice and seem to only have the absorption discs (Ecoegg Fresher for Longer Discs) which are single use for around the same price. With Blueapple there is a one-year refill kit available at around the same price of $14 which is four times cheaper than purchasing new products every three months.
