When considering the problem of food waste in America, it’s easy to envision grocery distributors or large-scale restaurant operations with dumpsters full of spoiled meat and produce in a back alley.

ReFED, a multi-stakeholder nonprofit committed to reducing the $218 billion of food waste in the United States, has launched the Retail Food Waste Action Guide, which finds that food waste represents an $18.2 billion opportunity for grocery retailers.

The latest scales offer bakers and snack manufacturers a host of benefits, including improved accuracy, waste reduction, sanitation, traceability and data integration.
