Now, one Thai company is trying to lower that statistic. Launched in 2021, Yindii acts as a food ordering service similar to Uber Eats. Vendors sell leftover food that would otherwise be wasted at a heavy discount, and customers can order a &#8220;mystery box&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Rajangam said the company had collectively saved more than 200,000 meals from going to waste. &#8220;In terms of carbon dioxide emission offset, [it] is around 500,000 kilograms of carbon offset \u2014 that&#8217;s the environmental impact that we&#8217;ve created,&#8221; she said. The app currently hosts over 800 food vendors. &#8220;We are clearing for a lot of brands as high as, like, up to 95 per cent of their excess stock.&#8221; The company&#8217;s goal is to reach a zero-waste point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every single country has the problem of food waste, pretty much equally,&#8221; she said. She said some people had reservations about buying &#8220;waste food&#8221; at first, but the restaurants ensure the food is high quality. A new government policy being introduced in Hong Kong is also forcing people to be more open-minded and conscious about the issue. &#8220;Hong Kong is coming up with a municipal solid waste penalty, so the government is going to penalise based on the kilogram of waste that you generate for both businesses as well as people,&#8221; she said. &#8220;For a solution like Yindii, I think there will be a greater acceptance because now people are kind of forced to think about waste and act upon it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2024-07-09\/thai-app-helps-reduce-food-waste-and-lower-emissions\/104059268\">ABC News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-552\/\">Food waste is a major contributor to global warming, but a Thai company is trying change that<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[5815,575,1589,15207],"class_list":["post-132250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-app","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-waste","tag-yindii"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
