To the measuring instruments

Reducing food waste. In foodservice and retail.

Competition is fierce, and so are the demands of customers. At the same time, the pressure on restaurants and supermarkets is increasing due to ever stricter legal requirements. This leads to a lot of food ending up in the trash.

  • Because the portions are bigger than the hunger.

  • Because the shelves should be full, even if the shopping carts aren’t.

  • Because foods with small blemishes don't make it into the bag.

  • Because the cold chain isn’t working, the best-before date is approaching or products are stored improperly.

The reasons for food waste are as varied as the possibilities for doing something about it are simple. Together with Testo.
