Auchan Retail has made the fight against food waste a core focus of its business plan, with a target of zero products wasted by 2032. The widespread rolllout of anti-waste aisles in its stores are a part of this drive. The retailer will gradually deploy Smartway’s tools in all countries in which it operates. Launched initially in Romania, and in France, this digitised, AI-based food waste management technology has already saved 70 million products (i.e. 33,500 tonnes) per year in the three countries, while avoiding the emission of 82,700 tonnes of CO2. The innovative system is about to be expanded to eight more countries.
