Globally, about 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year, as reported by the United Nations. This waste represents not only a financial loss but also a significant consumption of resources like water, land, and energy used in food production. EcoLoc aims to tackle this issue head-on by keeping food fresh longer, thereby significantly reducing food waste. This is a key step toward meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals aimed at reducing global food waste by half.

Foodborne diseases affect around 600 million people worldwide each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). EcoLoc effectively reduces microorganisms, including pathogens that cause these illnesses, making food not only last longer but also safer to eat. By decreasing the presence of these pathogens, EcoLoc helps minimize the health risks associated with contaminated food. 

By integrating EcoLoc into daily life, we empower individuals to make impactful changes—preserving both the quality and safety of food. This dual approach not only saves money and reduces waste but also ensures that the food you eat supports your health.
