ECR Community’s Food Waste Prevention Challenge Nearing Completion

The ECR Community Shrink & OSA Group has announced that its Food Waste Prevention Challenge is nearing completion.

The group is set to host a two-day Sell More, Waste Less meeting in Brussels on 26 and 27 June, at which five innovative start-ups will present their breakthrough innovations on food waste management to a panel of top European retailers, including Tesco, Lidl and Albert.

Five core areas relating to food waste are being addressed by the Food Waste Prevention Innovation Challenge, including supply chain visibility; store and warehouse optimisation; extending shelf-life; clearance and reductions and; repurposing and reusing surplus products.

Following the June meeting, a number of pilot workshops will be hosted in July, ahead of the potential implementation of said start-ups’ technologies within the retail trade. (ESM)
