Y Waste App

With a focus on food retail Y Waste's purpose is to reduce the negative environmental and economic impacts of food waste. Y Waste app allows business/caterers and retailers to connect with consumers on their last minute food and stock wastage with consumers in the local area to purchase and ensure less food that is perfectly fine for consumption is thrown into landfill unnecessarily and also allows business and consumers to think and engage in other environmentally sustainable conversations and actions such as bringing their containers to reduce plastic waste as well as food waste and create a local community between consumers and merchants over food and food waste. 1/3 of the food which is thrown out, 80% of it is purely unsold. We address both merchants who have goods to sell and a growing market which is becoming more savvy and aware and willing make adjustments in their behaviour to reduce this waste as well as educate others
