Food Waste Audit @EPFL
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThe EPFL's RESCO service is seeking to significantly reduce food waste within its catering operations by leveraging digital technology. This initiative involves the procurement of a real-time monitoring solution for food waste generated at EPFL's various catering points. The selected solution is expected to generate comprehensive data, which will then be analyzed by the RESCO service. The primary objective of this data analysis is to identify and mitigate avoidable waste across all EPFL kitchens. By providing detailed insights into different waste categories, weight, and associated costs, the system will enable targeted interventions. Furthermore, the data collected will contribute to reducing the institution's carbon footprint. The implementation of key performance indicators (KPIs) will be crucial for optimizing processes, not only in terms of food procurement and management but also in conserving other valuable resources such as labor and energy. This project underscores EPFL's commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency through technological innovation in waste management.
This is a consulting contract in the environment and climate, information and communication technology and general supplies sectors, with a focus on Waste Management, Data Analytics and Enterprise Systems. Located in Switzerland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
