Reducing food waste by repurposing expired food
Expired food is a major source of food waste globally. A startup could create a platform that connects consumers with restaurants, grocery stores, and food suppliers to repurpose and redistribute expired but still safe-to-eat food. This would help reduce food waste and address the growing concern of sustainability in the food industry. According to a study by the United Nations, approximately 1.3 billion metric tons of food are wasted every year, resulting in an estimated market size of $46.7 billion for potential startups in this space.
