The pressing issues of climate change, food security, global health, and economic development have elevated the topic of food waste to a prominent position on political agendas worldwide. This research aims to address the gap in existing literature by addressing fruit and vegetable storage systems for domestic use, focusing on solutions that can effectively reduce food waste. The study seek to identify the main characteristics and efficacy of these systems while also exploring opportunities for design innovation. The methodology involves a literature review, patent research, and market trends to identify the innovations in this field. The research categorized the findings into two main sections: traditional solutions and technological solutions. Traditional solutions include methods such as evaporative cooling, ethylene absorbers, storage by type of foods, and food visibility systems, while technological solutions encompass sensorized and smart systems. Each solution was analysed based on predefined criteria, revealing insights into their effectiveness and potential for further development. By providing a detailed analysis of available options, this research aims to inform designers and companies interested in developing innovative and effective storage systems.
