App-etite for Disruption
summary
App-based marketplace connects consumers to bakeries, retailers and restaurants to cut waste, already signing 300 partners and expanding across Croatia this year without special devices or delivery staff. A logistics marketplace plus warehouses and traceability systems prevent spoilage and reports 1,000 tons saved across 13 countries while preparing tens of tonnes of produce for regrading. A plant‑based snack brand starts in a kitchen, now facing scale and production-capacity decisions. National waste is 286,000 tons per year (72 kg per person); companies are profitable and using AI for notifications and inventory optimization.
