Solution Overview & Benefits

The Kyoto Box is a collapsible solar oven. It won the Financial Times Climate Change Challenge in 2009.

The Kyoto Box provides a cooking option that elminates many of the adverse effects of burning firewood. The product itself is in fact a box, that attracts and traps sunlight to heat food, sterilize water, and much more. Food or water is kept under the acrylic cover so that sunlight goes in, and heat cannot escape.

The design can be manufactured relatively easily with basic cardboard parts and any transparent material that can cover the top the box.

History & Development

Kyoto Box is manufactured in Malaysia, and has been deployed in East Africa.
