#ICYMI: According to an infographic created by Experian and British data-journalist, writer and information designer David McCandless and published on CIWEM, if food waste were a country, it would rank fourth in global greenhouse gas emissions — behind only China, the US and India. Yet 54% of retailers still haven’t linked their carbon-reduction goals with their food waste strategy, even though every wasted item carries embedded emissions from farm to shelf. Our new global report, supported by the Cebr and insights from 3,500 retail leaders, shows how visibility can change that. With item-level digital identification and connected packaging, retailers can make more informed operational decisions by: ◾ Reducing avoidable losses that contribute to unnecessary emissions ◾ Sharing clearer product journey information with consumers via QR codes or NFC ◾ Improving inventory accuracy and operational efficiency At Avery Dennison, we’re helping retailers make inventory more visible and turning that into opportunities for measurable impact. 📘 Explore the report to see how waste reduction can unlock both carbon and commercial value: https://avydn.co/4rNWDxl #FoodWaste #CarbonFootprint #Retail #MakingPossible
