2.3 Problem and Solutions

1.Lack of Right Platforms/ Initiatives –While there are many initiatives around tackling food waste - these tend to be ones that aim to deal with the aftermath of food waste, as opposed to tackling the issue at an earlier stage where food waste can be avoided from the outset.

Solution–The Company's proprietary IoT platform will utilize internally developed sensors, hardware, and algorithms to deliver new data and significant outcomes. The cutting-edge platform will improve food freshness by bringing transparency to the retail supply chain. Moreover, AI technology will help businesses forecast what they require and identify gaps in predicted vs actual sales and aim to minimize the gap and see that food waste can be avoided at an earlier stage of the process.

2.FLW (food loss and waste) measurement – The extent of reported FLW raised concerns about food availability, farm, and food supplier incomes, natural resource sustainability, food safety, and the global ramifications of their impacts. FLW measurement needs to be improved and should account for both quantity and quality losses. But many companies don’t focus on such criteria to curb the wastage of food.

Solution –The Company is dedicated to providing food waste technology for retailers to cut food waste within their operations. It will work on data through analytics to measure food loss and waste. The Company has also developed a compliant reverse logistics process to aggregate food waste at no cost and with negative carbon emissions.

2.4 Product and Services

The Company will be dedicated to developing a groundbreaking platform for sustainable change. It will create transformative technology solutions that make a tangible impact in attenuating the food waste crisis. The Company's primary service will involve an alpha system to convert waste into energy, food waste AD, revolutionizing food waste logistics, creating data to better track performance, a proprietary liquefaction system, data science to drive diversion, anaerobic digestion, machine learning for freshness, and decarbonization. The company works directly with merchants aiming to stay future-ready to develop disruptive solutions with low or zero emissions rather than relying on yesterday's methods of production. Since retailers lack granular data on how food is handled, the company's best-in-class technology platform will generate new, unique data, allowing consumers to understand what's going on at the ground level. With the help of the platform, each store will follow the same consistent process, informing decisions upstream.
