Food Waste Intelligence

Sodexo will deploy WasteWatch powered by Leanpath, its food waste prevention program, at 3,000 sites worldwide within a year, CEO Denis Machuel announced today at the Tech for Good Summit.

One of the best things about preventing food waste as long as we have is that you make a lot of friends along the way. A few of them, including IKEA’s Michael La Cour, Google’s Kristen Rainey, Toast Ale’s Tristram Stuart and more, helped us celebrate. Watch the video.

There are so many moving parts in hospital foodservice that chefs and managers rarely have time to identify the root causes of food waste, let alone strategize to improve their operations. That's why Palomar Health trusts Leanpath technology to measure their food waste, analyze food waste data, and provide reporting and expert coaching to guide their prevention efforts.

With more than 420 stores in 52 markets worldwide IKEA is now two years into its ambitious program to reduce food waste in all the IKEA stores by 50% before end of August 2020. So far more than 1.4 million kilos of food have been saved since the program started, which is equivalent to more than 3 million meals (one meal equals 450 grams).

Food Matters Live caught up with Leanpath’s own Tom Mansel after we were awarded the group’s Sustainability Initiative of the Year Award.
