U.S. retail stores generate about 16 billion pounds of food waste every year, and these food upcycling delivery apps are working to reduce the waste — and your grocery spending.
About 30% of food in American grocery stores is thrown away, according to data from the USDA and waste management firm RTS, which compiled a comprehensive report on U.S. food waste. U.S. retail stores generate about 16 billion pounds of food waste every year, thrown out for reasons that range from blemishes on produce, an impending expiry date or the wrong color lid on a perfectly good jar of pasta sauce.
Promotions and sales also pop up from time to time on both Misfits and Imperfect Foods, which includes a plant-based section, its own branded line, such as ground coffee, and wellness products. For instance, Misfits Market right now is featuring its just-on-time seasonal peaches and apricots, with added education on stone fruit storage, prepping and cooking.
As for Misfits, its cardboard packing boxes are 100% recyclable, and it’s testing eco-friendly insulation that protects groceries in transit. In warmer weather, it uses nontoxic ice packs made from a water-based formula. In lieu of plastic produce bags, a plant-based bag with a resin compound is substituted.
Shoppers who are conscientious about the carbon footprint of delivery and other sustainability issues will want to seek out a site that is fully transparent about how they package, the emissions involved, their inclusion of renewable fuel QCLN, +1.45% fleet vehicles, and whether they favor bulk deliveries that cut down on overall road time, or stick with smaller runs.
