A technology company that works to reduce food waste has teamed up with the National Football League (NFL) and other organizations to salvage untouched excess food that is often thrown away.
Since 2016, Copia has been working with the San Francisco 49ers to recover excess food waste from the players’ cafeteria. To date, according to a SportTechie report, the company has recovered and redistributed more than 26,000 pounds of high-quality food from the cafeteria, providing more than 22,000 meals to the surrounding Santa Clara community. The average volume per pickup is about 66 pounds, the report noted.
