Did you know that each European wastes an average of 131 kg of food every year, according to the European Commission? Especially fresh products such as vegetables, fruit, bread, meat and dairy often disappear unnecessarily. This has a major impact on the environment, our wallets and society.
Much waste occurs due to unclear information about shelf life and storage conditions. This is where companies in the chain, such as retailers and processors, can make a difference. The QR Code powered by GS1 offers consumers, among other things, clear information about shelf life and storage tips, helps prevent food waste through efficient and effective stock management, and supports compliance with laws and regulations.
Discover how your company can contribute to a more sustainable food system and be prepared for the future with the QR Code powered by GS1.
