Pattanayak said integrating this technology into the university\u2019s \u2018Zero Waste Campus\u2019 ecosystem, the partnership aims to provide students, faculty and surrounding communities with a practical tool to turn kitchen leftovers into valuable resources. This is not just an app, it is an extension of our commitment to the circular economy and the UN SDGs, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith food waste responsible for nine times more greenhouse gas emissions than the global aviation industry and the average person in India wasting 55 kg of food annually, the collaboration offers a scalable solution to a critical climate and economic challenge,\u201d said Pro-V-C (Administration) Ajay Kumar Nayak.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe app, which has been found to have helped over 41,000 Australian users save 63% more food than average households, has been localised for the Indian context. The platform will be used as a tool for community development, helping local households slash grocery bills by maximising their existing food supplies. Users can also track their personal impact and financial savings through a personalised dashboard, creating transparent data for sustainability reporting,\u201d said CEO and co-founder of Saveful, Kim McDonnell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pattanayak said integrating this technology into the university\u2019s \u2018Zero Waste Campus\u2019 ecosystem, the partnership aims to provide students,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274259,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[133700,61,60,202,133699,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-274258","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-centurion-varsity","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-saveful-2-0-app","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
