Four ways retailers are reducing food waste
Retailers globally are launching campaigns to become more sustainable. One of the main initiatives being adopted is seeing them target food waste. We looked at four initiative ways retailers are aiming to reduce their food waste.
Germany-based Kaufland has partnered with Too Good To Go, which offers food products at reduced prices, just before stores’ closing time. Shoppers check the app for the products on offer, which, when purchased, can be collected at the selected Kaufland snack bar, 15 minutes before closing.
Netherland-based Ahold Delhaize is aiming to cut food waste by 50% by 2030. The group has further developed its 2016 commitment to reduce food waste by 20% by 2020.
The retailer has pledged to reduce food waste by improving technology to help it limit the impact of the over ordering of products. Furthermore, the group has created partnerships with local communities to donate unsold food.
Tesco has been working towards minimising food waste from all stores. The retailer has several initiatives to meet its 2030 target of reducing food waste by 50%.
Tesco offers reduced-to-clear promotions, the food that cannot be sold is donated to charities and local communities. At the end of each day, Tesco communicates using a FareShare app to notify charities the amount of food they can provide.
Asda is trialling a new advanced material by Apeel Sciences, to help eliminate plastic packaging, without increasing food waste. The retailer has adopted Apeel Sciences’ innovation, which is a spray designed to go onto fruit and vegetables with a natural peel.
