The challenge in school cafeterias
1
More than 2 million school meals daily in Spain
2
Aproximadamente 35% de la comida se desperdicia
3
Up to 110g of food wasted per student per day
This happens because...
• Poorly adjusted planning
• Student habits and preferences
• Dining room times and environment
• Lack of data for decision-making
How does it work?
Plato Limpio is a data-driven technological solution that measures food waste in cafeterias, analyzes its causes, and transforms that information into concrete actions to reduce it, generating environmental, social, and economic impact.
