Food waste continues to be a big issue in many parts of the developed world, so the 'Foodspan' app has been created as a solution that will help combat against it.
The app works by allowing users to stay on top of the meals and ingredients they have available in their fridge, and will automatically send them a notification when they're about to expire. This could effectively save tonnes of food from being wasted, while also saving users time and money as well by never letting them forget about the edible items they already have on hand.
The 'Foodspan' app also enables users to plan and cost their meals to think ahead instead of constantly eating out.
