Serbia discards a staggering 247,000 tons of food each year, which translates to 35 kg per person. The food service sector alone generates around 40,000 tons of food waste annually. Kitchen waste accounts for 20%, while uneaten food left on plates by customers makes up 15%. UNLEASH Hacks Serbia aims to address the surplus food of restaurants and other establishments by developing creative and innovative solutions for reusing food waste. This pressing issue must be addressed with the utmost urgency, as it not only affects the environment but also impacts those who cannot afford to feed themselves.
The Hack is scheduled to take place on October 12 and 19.
