Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) - Vietnam

Keeping it cool, the sustainable way! Did you know? Food cooling is one of the fastest-growing drivers of energy use and emissions worldwide. In Vietnam, inefficient cold chains are responsible for up to 25% food loss and waste and outdated cooling systems make it even worse with high costs and soaring emissions. Enter the VOX Cool – ASSIST partnership. VOX Cool’s Cold Battery technology, built with locally sourced Phase Change Materials and smart thermal systems, is making cooling affordable, scalable and up to 50% more energy-efficient. From farm to fishery to food market, this innovation keeps products fresh, reduces fossil fuel reliance and helps businesses save money while cutting emissions.
