While the upcoming Earth Day on April 22 aims to raise awareness about actions that we can take on a daily basis to reduce impact on the environment, we can also minimise our carbon footprints by reducing food waste. Is your fridge currently full of neglected food? An app could help you make better use of them so they don’t wind up in the garbage.
That piece of cheese wrapped in aluminium foil that is no longer recognisable, leftover pasta that was supposed to be your dinner on-the-go a week ago, or that bunch of radishes that got left in the produce drawer far too long before you found the right moment to bite into them... What refrigerator doesn’t contain abandoned foodstuffs? The food waste generated by households worldwide accounts for some 631 million tonnes per year, 60% of the total of food wasted, according to a report from the UN.
