More than 30% of the food in the world (and in US) is lost or wasted. We started Zero Percent to bring that down to ZERO.
This is not just a tech company. We aim to create a community system in order to help food businesses achieve ZERO food waste through food donations. The service will always be free for businesses and agencies eliminating food waste.
"Zero Percent has an admirable goal–zero percent food waste," Jonathan Bloom, author of American Wasteland - How America Throws Away Nearly Half of its Food.
When businesses such as restaurants have excess food, they either enter a donation (for local pantries or soup kitchens) into Zero Percent.
