Whywaste offers a range of solutions to address food waste-related challenges in grocery retail
This is SPAR’s third partnership aimed at supporting food waste reduction, following collaborations with Gander and Too Good To Go.
Whywaste offers a range of solutions to address food waste-related challenges in grocery retail. Its advanced digital date-checking app identifies and keeps track of products about to reach their sell-by date. It helps retailers prevent food waste by taking the appropriate action to ensure that the goods are sold.
Results from SPAR stores using Whywaste’s solutions have shown that food waste has reduced by up to 40%, the retailer noted.
According to reports from the United Nations, almost a third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, while at the same time hundreds of millions of people are starving. The UN’s sustainable development goal 12.3 aims to halve global food waste by 2030.
