Why Zerowaste?
Climate change. Food insecurity. A fragile global food system. All these challenges are worsened by food loss and waste.
If we want to sustainably feed a growing world population, we need to start by tackling food loss and waste - all the way from farm to fork. That is what the ZeroW project is about.
The partners and us
New Additions
Check out our 9 living labs across Europe
Reducing FLW through real-life systemic innovation labs
FLW monitoring and assesment
Tech-IN Waste-OUT: Open, data-driven platform for capturing and assessing FLW data throughout the supply chain
Wasteless greenhouse solutions
Computer vision predicts the future in greenhouses before harvesting
Ugly food identification
It is estimated that one third of the EU's total agricultural production is discarded as "ugly" food, although of perfectly good quality and fit for human consumption.
Efficient food bank networks
Food banks aim to address both food waste and food insecurity.
Informing and nudging consumers
How can you adapt the knowledge of food loss and waste in your everyday life through little helping hands like recipes, meal boxes, labels and other digital and practical solutions without compromising nutritional aspects?
Innovative sustainable and smart packaging
Packaging solution to extend the shelf-life of packaged products and facilitate stock management
Mobile food valorisation as a service
The aim of this Living Lab is to demonstrate innovative processing solutions which can be marketed as a service for optimizing the processing of surplus fruits and vegetables which would otherwise go to waste.
Data driven production process control
Processes in the poultry industry can be optimized to minimize food loss. This is being tested in this Living Lab by implementing portable Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) technology and intelligent data analysis.
FLW valorisation through algae production
A pre-treatment process can turn ordinary retail waste into high value micro-algae feed
