Millions of people around the world are undernourished and yet, each year more than a billion tons of food ends up going to waste—while food waste is a global problem, the WasteNot app is being introduced to help individuals and families do their part to reduce waste at home.
The app serves as a system for food inventory management and keeps tabs on the food in one's fridge, freezer and pantry. When food is about to expire, the WasteNot app offers notifications and alerts as a handy reminder. Additionally, the app is an all-in-one resource for finding new recipes, monitoring one's impact and getting rewarded for reducing food waste on a household level.
The app is currently being introduced to the world through a crowdfunding campaign and WasteNot has partnered with various earth-conscious brands to bring even more awareness to the issues surrounding food waste.
