The document discusses RD Fresh, a product that uses a proprietary blend of natural minerals (zeolites, activated carbon, clay) to extend the shelf life of foods and reduce refrigeration needs. It provides historical evidence that scientists have sought such a solution for decades, referencing studies from 1965 onward, but that RD Fresh is the first to achieve success. The document claims RD Fresh absorbs moisture, gases and odors to inhibit spoilage, and cites examples showing reduced mold, preserved appearance and smell. It argues RD Fresh can meaningfully reduce global food waste and associated methane emissions.

1.  Because RD FRESH is a low cost ecological solution that extends
food shelf life and reduces refrigeration costs.
 Because RD FRESH is a proprietary mineral mix that is 100% natural
and 100% recyclable to the planet.
 Because RD FRESH is a true ZERO-FOOTPRINT product…

AND AN AWARD WINNING COMPANY
THE INNOVATION AWARD…
Leveraging the power of business
to solve social and environmental problems.

2. BECAUSE SCIENCE, GOVERNMENT AND MAJOR INDUSTRIAL GIANTS HAVE BEEN
SEARCHING FOR THIS ANSWER FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS…
WHY RD FRESH??? AND WHY NOW???
THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION ABOUT RD FRESH… IF THIS IS SO IMPORTANT,
WHY HASN’T THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE… A FEW REASONS ARE LISTED BELOW…
“Departure from wheel technology to lower cost fixed bed devices could be the future of desiccants,
providing a low cost energy dehumidifier.”…. RICHARD SWEETER, PRESIDENT, ENERGY CORP.
RD FRESH IS A FIXED BED DEVICE!!!
“In addition to work with active desiccant systems the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is
currently working with manufacturers to develop passive systems.”
STEVEN SLAYZAK, NREL PROJECT LEADER
RD FRESH IS A PASSIVE SYSTEM!!!
“The NREL estimates desiccant dehumidification can cut electricity demand by as much as 25%.
These systems haven’t made significant inroads in the market because of high initial cost”
RD FRESH HAS NO INITIAL COST!!!
AND RD FRESH IS SAFE!!!

AND SCIENCE IS WELL AWARE OF THE BENEFITS OF ZEOLITES
During the Chernobyl disaster thirty to forty times the radioactivity of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki was released. About 500,000 tons of ZEOLITE CONTAINING CLINOPTILOLITE were used at
Chernobyl with the following results:
Filters of clinoptilolite tuffs were used to extract radionucleides from the drainage water of the Chernobyl
nuclear power plant. Filtration reduced 137Cs (contaminant) by 95% and 90Sr (contaminant) by 50-60%.
To reduce radioactivity in cow milk, 10% clinoptilolite was added to the cow feed resulting in 30% reduction
in the radionucleides in the milk. For decontamination of children’s chocolate and biscuits, the food was
prepared containing 2-30 wt.% pure and powdery clinoptilolite.
CLINOPTILOLITE IS ONE OF MINERALS IN RD FRESH!!!

3. 50 YEARS AGO SCIENCE WAS LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION THAT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO RD FRESH…
AVOCADO TESTS 1965
Proc. Fla. State Hort. Soc. 78:353-358. 1965.
STORAGE TRIALS WITH AVOCADOS IN MODIFIED ATMOSPHERES
Two experiments were run at 50°F.
Each included 9 treatments of 10 fruit each.
These were a control (air-stored) sample, plus 2 series of 4 jars, each having 1/8 and 1/16-
inch diffusion holes respectively and the following sub treatments:
No insert
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL at 1 gram per fruit
Examination after 3 and 5 weeks at 50° F included pressure tests with a "Mechanical
Thumb" device (18), external examination for pitting and fungal attack and, at the
second examination, tasting.
No air-stored fruit survived to the 3-week examination,
Some fruit in every controlled atmosphere treatment were marketable at 5 weeks.
As well as a 1998 study done at UC DAVIS…
CHABAZITE‐type zeolite adsorbs up to 94% of the added Ethylene in the test system.
ACTIVATED COCONUT SHELL CARBON AND CHABAZITE ARE TWO OF THE FOUR INGREDIENTS IN RD FRESH…
IN 1982 SCIENCE WOULD COME EVEN CLOSER TO THE RD FRESH SOLUTION…
Method for storing produce and container and freshness keeping agent
Inventor: Nakamura, et al. / Date Issued: June 29, 1982 / Application: 06/122,693 / Filed: February 19, 1980
Abstract: A storage container containing a freshness keeping agents for vegetables and fruits, consisting essentially of a
particulate composition which contains at least two components selected from the group consisting of zeolite, bentonite and
activated carbon. The freshness keeping agent absorbs ethylene gas, etc. generated from vegetables and fruits, thereby
preventing them from over-ripening, softening, etc.
RD FRESH USES TWO ZEOLITES, NOT ONE… for a number of scientific reasons that previous products seem to miss…
(Excerpted from… Sabeha Kesraoui Ouki, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Surrey, Surrey U.K…“… natural zeolites
have been evaluated with respect to their selectivity and removal performance for the treatment of effluents… (and) exhibited
different selectivity profiles…)…
A mixture of carbon and zeolite removed mixed vapors better than an adsorbent composed of either. Hussey and Gupta of Durr
Industries reported this at the Spring 1997 Meeting of American Institute of Chemical Engineers. They noted that the path
through the mixture was greater than the path through either of the adsorbents when used alone, and they attributed the
increased adsorption to the greater path length.
RD FRESH USES MONTMORILLONITE (A MORE PURE FORM OF THE CLAY)
RD FRESH USES COCONUT SHELL ACTIVATED CARBON.

4. •Robert Fireovid, ARS national program leader for quality and utilization of agricultural products, July 11, 2013
“At the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) we’ve been conducting research at laboratories across the country
to create new technologies or newly apply existing ones to curb food waste. We’re also investigating the combined use
of refrigeration, improved packaging and a natural compound that delays ripening to help perishable foods like
strawberries and tomatoes to stay fresh longer during shipping and storage.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has collaborated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to launch the U.S.
Food Waste Challenge, calling on producer groups and others to join in efforts to reduce food loss and waste. We’re also
investigating the combined use of refrigeration and a natural compound to help perishable foods stay fresh longer
during shipping and storage.
YES. THE VERY SAME QUOTE!!!
WHILE THE ARS, USDA AND EPA “INVESTIGATE”, RD FRESH ALREADY HAS SUCH A “COMPOUND”!!!
AND WHILE THE NREL (the National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy)
Seek a passive, fixed bed, low cost refrigeration dehumidifier, RD FRESH ALREADY EXISTS!!!
INDUSTRY “GIANTS” WERE MENTIONED AT THE OUTSET TO BE SEEKING THIS SAME SOLUTION.
JUST WHO THOSE “GIANTS ARE MAY BE SURPRISING…
WHY RD FRESH??? AND WHY NOW???
HONEYWELL F111 CEILING MOUNT COMMERCIAL AIR CLEANER
Designed for use in commercial applications that require removal of air-borne particles
and odors. This high filtration and adsorption efficiency enables the F111 to remove
many of the troublesome particles, gases and odors from the indoor air. Typical
applications include restaurants, bars, schools, etc…

• ACTIVATED CARBON.
• ZEOLITE.
HONEYWELL tried and failed in1998… using some of the very same minerals that RD FRESH uses,
and targeting the very same markets that RD FRESH has succeeded in,
and Honeywell failed for all of the reasons given before…
Expensive initial cost, a flush mount panel that requires expensive energy consuming technology to generate air flow
as opposed to a drop mount, fixed bed, passive system that uses the walk-in’s existing fan motors to generate air flow.

5. BECAUSE HONEYWELL IS NOT THE LARGEST COMPANY TO FAIL…
IN 2001, ONE OF THE GIANTS OF RETAIL INDUSTRY PATENTED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BRING TO MARKET,
AN ALMOST IDENTICAL PRODUCT TO THE 2012 RD FRESH RETAIL PRODUCT, VEGIEFRESH!!!

ORIGINAL ASSIGNEE … THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY
EXCERPTS: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nowadays, refrigerators have become a common appliance in virtually every
household and typically are used for storage and preservation of food, in
particular of fresh food such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and the like.
It is desirable to keep food items fresh as long as possible in the refrigerator.
It is a well known problem that many food items tend to release malodors into
the air which are then captured in the limited air space in a refrigerator. Not
only are these malodors unpleasant and offensive to the user of the refrigerator,
they can also have a negative impact on the quality of other foods in the refrigerator.
ACTIVATED CARBON is known to be a very effective filter medium for adsorption of
odors due to its high specific surface area. The filter member of the present invention
may further comprise agents supported on the filter element to specifically attack
certain malodors such as those comprising S atoms or N atoms. Additionally, or
alternatively, the filter member of the present invention may comprise a filter medium
capable of removing ethylene from the air. Other odor removing substances may
include, but are not limited to ZEOLITES…
WHY RD FRESH AND WHY NOW???
Because unlike the 1965 tests, unlike the 1982 patent, and unlike Honeywell and Proctor & Gamble,
only RD FRESH has come up with the correct mineral mix ground to the correct particulate size and
mixed in the correct proportions to be so effective that we have clients with us since January of 2008.
WHY RD FRESH??? AND WHY NOW???

6. THE AMOUNT OF FOOD WASTED IN THE UNITED STATES IS STAGGERING.
IN 2010, MORE THAN 34 MILLION TONS…
accounting for almost 14 percent of the total municipal solid waste stream. When food is disposed in a landfill it
quickly rots and becomes a significant source of methane, accounting for more than 20 percent of all methane
emissions in the United States. "Food waste is huge," says Schwab, a senior analyst in the waste division at the
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. "Food waste is now the No. 1 material that goes into landfills and
incinerators." “IT'S ALSO CHANGING THE CLIMATE. "BECAUSE IT ROTS SO FAST, BASICALLY IT STARTS TO
GENERATE METHANE REALLY QUICKLY," SAYS SCHWAB.
METHANE IS A GREENHOUSE GAS THAT'S 20 TIMES MORE POTENT THAN CARBON DIOXIDE!!!
It’s simple… reducing bacteria proliferation reduces cross-contamination… and KEEPS FOOD FRESHER, LONGER.
RD FRESH WILL KEEP YOUR FOOD FRESHER, LONGER… LESS WASTE, LESS METHANE…
How often do you get to do something good for the planet,
and save money for your company and for you customers while you are doing it???
AND ITS NOT JUST ABOUT SAVING MONEY… ITS ABOUT SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT
THE SCIENCE BEHIND RD FRESH
• Moisture accelerates the spoilage of meat.
• Spoiling meat produces ammonia and nitrogen, which in turn further accelerates the spoilage.
• RD FRESH absorbs water (H2O), ammonia (NH3) and nitrogen (N).
• Spoiling fish produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.
• RD FRESH absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3).
• Fruits and vegetables emit ethylene gas, which accelerates the ripening and spoilage of other produce.
• One of the simplest ways to remove ethylene from the atmosphere is to absorb it.
• RD FRESH absorbs this ethylene gas.

7. SCIENCE YOU CAN SEE
Evaluation and Definition of Potentially Hazardous Foods –
Chapter 3. Factors that Influence Microbial Growth
2.1. Moisture content
Micro-organisms need water in an available form to grow in food products. The control of the moisture content
in foods is one of the oldest exploited preservation strategies.
“Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures
between 40 and 140 degrees F,
doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes.”

ARRIVES IN THEIR HOME.
AMCO PRODUCE
TRANSPORT FRESH will increase your bottom line, your customer’s bottom
line, and benefit the environment, reducing not only your carbon footprint,
but the much larger problem of food waste methane production.
The same 100% Green, 100% Sustainable, Zero Foot Print "Technology"
that made the All-Natural Mineral mixes of RD FRESH such a success in the
commercial market, and VEGIEFRESH in the retail markets,
is now available for the transportation industry.
From “FARM TO FORK” is the new focus of sustainable produce
and packaged foods, and TRANSPORTFRESH is the solution for fresher,
healthier, safer food from the packer to the shipper to the distribution
center and all the way to the retailer and the consumer.
What better way to build brand loyalty
than throughout the entire Farm to Fork “chain”.
The 2 or 3 gram packs are designed to go directly into
the clamshell. They are ideal for the growers-retailers
looking for customer loyalty and the marketing value
of Saving the Environment.
The 2 or 3 gram packs also work wonders in prepackaged foods like salads,
sandwiches, artisan breads and more, where extending the shelf life by
even a single day can mean a huge increase in profits for the packager.
The 2 ounce packs are designed to go directly into the larger boxes of
produce. They are ideal for getting your product to the customer shelves in
excellent condition.
The 12 ounce bag enclosed in our Pallet Topper Clamshell is designed
to wedge in between boxes on top the pallet to help with shrinkage during
the trucking cycle.
The Cardboard Panel is designed to mount in the
top of the reefer trailer for the company that moves
produce daily. The panel will hold up to (3) 12 ounce
Transport Fresh Bags and will last 3 to 4 weeks,
making it good for multiple deliveries.

As you know, I started using your 2 gram TransportFresh
product about 2 years ago. It has been quite successful
for me (as seen per orders!!!!!)
The first client I used it with has more than doubled their
salad sales… and far more importantly, their “stales” are
down considerably.
The second client I used it with ... once again, trusted
me. Their stales have declined greatly & steadily, their
sandwich sales have soared!!!
I have been able to take the shelf life of our FDA and
USDA sandwiches and salads from 3 and 5 days to 5 and

For all of the reasons given, science, safety, cost effectiveness, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory all see a need for a product such as RD FRESH.
The attempt to develop such a product has been ongoing for at least 50 years…
Obviously, had HONEYWELL succeeded… had PROCTOR & GAMBLE succeeded… had ANYONE
succeeded, in government or the private sector, there would be no RD FRESH today…
But RD FRESH is here today, as well as VEGIEFRESH and TRANSPORTFRESH,
and now you have the opportunity to do something good for your bottom line…
