Avoiding food waste solutions:Re-labeling with mobile label printer and database in retail application
According to the United Nations Environment Programme's "2024 Food Waste Index Report", as much as 1.05 billion tons of food will be discarded worldwide in 2022, of which about 60% comes from households, accounting for the highest proportion, with an average of 79 kilograms of food wasted per person per year. If we further estimate the waste of edible food and assume that the average weight of food per meal is 420 grams, then households around the world waste more than 1 billion meals a day. At the same time, there are still 783 million people in the world who are suffering from hunger.
