According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans waste about 30-40% of their yearly food supply, despite the fact that more than 50 million Americans don’t have enough food to eat on a daily basis.
Food waste is a problem all over the world, but one company has created a mobile app to tackle the issue in the United States. The PareUp app will be launched in New York City first, where, according to the PareUp website, 6.5 billion pounds of food are thrown away daily. And that’s just in the Big Apple.
