Food waste is a high-priority issue in the food industry

While some measure of wasted food is inevitable, too much negatively impacts margins, detracts from environmental goals, and doesn’t responsibility contribute to the battle against world hunger. Minimizing food waste is highly important in the food industry.

Over 108 billion pounds of food is thrown away in the U.S. each year, and by some estimations, nearly 40% of food produced will go to waste

Reducing food waste doesn't mean ignoring quality and selling customers food that's past its prime. Instead, it's about tracking everything and knowing the full history and climate conditions cases and items experienced along the way. Avery Dennison has the technology to help groceries waste less and use more—while maintaining optimal quality and freshness for customers.
