Bluetooth: Reducing food waste and loss of RTI’s
Date: April 18th
Time: 14:00pm
Did you know that 40% of all food in the supply chain is wasted before it even makes it to retailers’ shelves?
The food shortage crisis is only the first of many challenges retailers will face if we do not make changes towards achieving a more sustainable supply chain. On average up to 30% of plastic totes (RTIs) used in the food transportation and storage are lost each year. The misplacement of these RTIs results in further losses and wasted produce. This also increases the need for production of more plastic totes than are necessary with the proper traceability systems in place, and creates unnecessary cost and environmental impact for retailers in an already challenging economy.
The use of Bluetooth labels can reduce food waste while also increasing shelf life and ROI for retailers. To learn how, register your attendance to Peak Technologies' and Wiliot’s upcoming webinar.
