Tackling food waste not only means cutting costs but also significantly reducing energy and resource consumption. This directly contributes to a more sustainable food system and a healthier environment. Indeed, reducing food waste is in the top 3 of effective solutions to combat climate change.
The QR Code powered by GS1 plays a crucial role in this fight against food waste. By giving consumers access to reliable, detailed product information, the QR Code helps them make more conscious choices. Whether it is insight into a product's shelf life, origin or quality, this information enables consumers to buy and use food smarter.
Imagine using the QR Code powered by GS1 to know how to properly store a product or how to optimally reuse leftovers. Or having instant access to offers for products with a shorter shelf life, minimising food waste and saving money.
By making smart choices, we not only reduce the amount of food wasted, but also the demand for production and distribution. This means less energy consumption, less CO₂ emissions and fewer wasted resources - a direct contribution to fighting climate change.
