📢 Exciting update on our #BumpTag usability project, funded by Innovate UK! 🤩 We've just completed a new round of user testing with visually impaired participants, thanks to Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind (SRSB) and Rotherham Sight & Sound (RSS). Did you know Bump was originally created by Solveiga Pakštaitė to help people with visual impairments access food expiration information? We're thrilled to reintroduce it to this community while continuing to refine it for greater inclusivity, with support from Design Council and Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University.

📢 Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that we've been awarded a new project by EIT Food’s Impact Funding Framework to deliver our #BumpTag into the meat and fish industries. #Bump helps producers extend expiry dates based on realistic storage conditions, rather than the overly cautious estimates used by the current system. Our previous projects and consumer testing have shown significant economic and sustainability benefits for producers, but consumer support is key to its success. In partnership with ABP Food Group, the UK's largest beef company, and University of Reading, this project will bring our food waste reduction technology to high-value products like meat and fish, while also assessing its impact on sustainable food choices.
