Food on or close to it's sell by or use by date needs to be discounted by 90% to stop food waste, only then if it is not sold should it be eligible to go biogas energy and digestate fertiliser. If it is edible, not significantly discounted and goes straight into biogas and digestate then it is food wasted. Companies that take this option need to be sanctioned.

The first semi-automated pallet storage system of its kind in the state of Hawai’i! 🌸🌴 Established in 1981, Ham Produce and Seafood has grown into one of Hawaii's largest food distributors, serving restaurants, hotels, care facilities, and supermarkets. With over 500 customers, they operate with a fleet of 45 trucks, making 300 deliveries daily. Facing space constraints, they partnered with Servco to redesign their freezer storage, increasing capacity from 500 to 700 pallets using the innovative Radioshuttle® system. The Raymond Corporation's semi-automated solution maximizes storage density, minimizing aisle needs and cutting costs—an essential consideration given the high expense of real estate in Hawai’i. Jerome Liu of Ham Produce raves, “Servco recommended an intelligent Radioshuttle® system that was able to increase our storage capacity by 20 percent!” For Hawaii businesses seeking efficient storage solutions, Servco is the trusted partner. Mahalo! 🌺 #StorageSolutions #InnovationInHawaii #ServcoSolutions #WeConvertSpaceIntoBusiness #Radioshuttle
