How Food Waste Happens

The cycle STUFF was built to break.

Most household food waste follows the same four-step pattern. STUFF intervenes at every stage.

🛒

Overbuy

You buy things you already have at home

→

📦

Forget

Items get pushed to the back of the fridge

→

⏰

Expire

Food passes its date without being used

→

🗑

Waste

$125/month straight into the trash

📱
