"The concept is surprisingly simple yet brilliant. Inside each lid sits a 254 nm UV-C LED that emits light known for its bacteria-fighting powers. When you pop this smart lid onto your jar, it creates a chemical-free preservation system that inhibits mold and bacteria growth. No weird sprays, no mysterious additives, just clean ultraviolet light doing what it does naturally. And here's the kicker: it uses less than 1 watt of energy, so you're not exactly running up your electricity bill for fresher strawberries."
"What really caught my attention is how SmartLid tackles the sustainability angle from multiple directions. First, there's the obvious benefit of reducing food waste. When your food stays fresh longer, you're throwing away less, which means fewer trips to the grocery store and less strain on your wallet. But the designers went deeper than that. The lid itself is made from recycled ABS plastic and bio-based silicone, so even the product's materials align with circular design principles."
SmartLid is a reusable jar lid that integrates a 254 nm UV-C LED to inhibit mold and bacteria growth inside glass jars. The lid creates a chemical-free preservation system that uses under 1 watt of power while avoiding sprays and additives. The design reduces food waste by keeping produce fresh longer and supports circular design through recycled ABS plastic and bio-based silicone components. A modular geometric sleeve wraps jars, adds grip, and provides visual access to contents while contributing modern aesthetics. The lids come in an array of colors and are intended to upgrade ordinary jars with low-energy active preservation.
