Abstract

Food waste is a pressing global issue, particularly in urban settings, where substantial amounts of surplus food go unused. In corporate environments, this challenge is compounded by the lack of dedicated platforms to facilitate food sharing and reduce waste effectively. This paper examines the current landscape of food waste, existing solutions, and the need for a specialised platform aimed at corporate employees. The proposed solution is the creation of a user-friendly application that enables the sharing of untouched homemade meals. Suppliers can post their meal boxes with details such as location, type of food, and availability status, while consumers can search for and select meal boxes based on their preferences. This paper addresses the gap in solutions for reducing food waste within corporate environments. The meal-box-sharing app provides a practical and sustainable method for minimising food waste and promoting productivity, health, and safety in the workplace.
