Smart Containers for Leftover Food Tracking for Packed and Unpacked Food
Due to busy schedules and a lack of tracking of food that is stored, a lot of food is wasted every day in households. According to the UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2021, India’s household food waste amounts to 50 kg per person per year, or over 68 million tons. In 2023, India would have produced ove...

| description | Due to busy schedules and a lack of tracking of food that is stored, a lot of food is wasted every day in households. According to the UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2021, India’s household food waste amounts to 50 kg per person per year, or over 68 million tons. In 2023, India would have produced over 68 million tons of food waste. Food waste is rising quickly every year. The following variables will affect food loss and waste (FLW) at the consumer level: improper food storage, including not using it before it goes bad. Partially used ingredients, preparing meals beyond necessity, and poor visibility of food in freezers are the main causes of food spoiling at home. According to data from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), one-third of India’s food is wasted or spoils before it is eaten. This can be minimized by tracking food in smart containers, which work for both packed and unpacked food. This can be used with or without a refrigerator. |
