ECR Retail Loss, a network of hundreds of global retailers, partnered with Co:Cubed to conduct a global search for new ways to prevent, reduce and re-use food waste.
From a long list of 100+ global innovations, Smartway’s smart anti-waste solutions were among the top 30 rated retail innovations in the fight against food waste. The judging panel consisted of food waste experts from 30+ retailers from around the world.
“We’re very excited to see Smartway in the top 30. Reducing food waste in retail is an essential part of doing good business. And the organisations in the ECR Food Waste Innovation Challenge have the potential to save the retail industry billions as well.”
John Fonteijn, Chair of ECR Retail Loss
