Green + Kode
We design Smart IoT and waste solutions to reduce food waste in commercial kitchens & provide automatic solutions at reasonable prices. We work in the undeserved market of SME’s. We seek to make high impact at low cost. Globally, 600 million tons of food are wasted each year costing £1.7 trillion. In UK, food waste from hospitality amounts to 1 million tons per year. Annual cost value of £2.9 billion. No affordable waste monitoring tools for SMEs to measure the cost of food waste thrown away.
Green + Kode's Story
Our mission is to have global impact on food waste by providing self-service, low cost online solutions for SMEs to reduce food waste.
Climate change affects our environment; every 10 years pathogens travel (mostly carried by bats) and migrate approx 200 miles to cooler areas in this period. One of these pathogens was highly likely to have been the cause of the pandemic. Bats habitats are moving and getting closer to human ecology systems. Dairy farm grasses can become infected by the waste products of bats and these, in turn, can be eaten by different farm animals, become infected and possibly ‘jump’ to humans. This type of event is increasing and fact and well documented.
10% of all the greenhouse gas emissions that come from the food system could be reduced if we stop wasting food. The environmental impact of less waste going to landfill. (1 Kg of food waste. 2.5 kg/CO2). An estimated 931 million tons of food are wasted globally each year. Let’s say 1/10th is from hospitality we can globally potentially save 233 billion KILOS of CO2/year!
Imagine doing the same monitoring at home on CO2 for your food waste, electricity and water usage in real-time where the problem if 8 times bigger?
