Adopting food waste management practices has gained momentum across various sectors, with governments, businesses, and consumers all recognizing the importance of reducing food waste. Corporations, especially those in the food and beverage industry, are increasingly adopting food waste management practices as part of their sustainability goals. Companies like Walmart, Nestle, and Unilever have committed to reducing food waste within their operations and supply chains. Many large-scale food producers and retailers have implemented measures such as donating unsold food, improving packaging, and using technology to forecast demand more accurately.
India's hotel industry contributes to the growing demand for food waste management services.
