Food waste is a huge problem. A government website talks about how food waste is a big problem. It claims that 21% of waste in landfills are food. This study reveals that on average, American households waste 1.28 pounds of food a day.
In response, I plan to make a device that can be attached to a fridge (probably via magnet) that will scan bar-codes and look up data about how long certain food will last. It will then notify the user when food will spoil soon, hopefully reducing food waste.
