Pilot Project That Saves Tons of Food

Food waste is a major challenge in the food supply chain. To reduce waste, better planning, collaboration, and digital solutions are needed. That is why Tempcon Group has engaged in a partnership with Foodtel – a platform that helps companies minimize waste and save food.

Early in Foodtel’s development journey, we contributed insights and experience from the transport and logistics industry, which became a crucial part of the platform’s continued development. We then initiated a pilot project with one of our companies, Klimat-Transport, to test the solution in practice and measure its impact. The project has now been running for over six months, and we are already seeing great results.

Tangible Results – Logistics That Make a Difference

The pilot project with Foodtel has delivered clear and measurable results. We have successfully saved 4 tons of food from being wasted. This equates to a reduction of 10 tons of CO₂e, demonstrating how the right logistics solutions can lower climate impact.

Additionally, we have preserved 57% of the residual value of products that would otherwise have been discarded – an initiative that not only benefits the environment but also strengthens the economy throughout the supply chain.

“When we signed the Helsingborg Declaration in 2022, we set a clear goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. The collaboration with Foodtel is a concrete example of how we are working toward that goal. By combining our expertise in temperature-controlled logistics with innovative digital solutions, we have shown that reducing food waste while creating value for both customers and the environment is possible. This is just the beginning,” says Mats Söderström from Tempcon.

A Solution That Creates Real Change

This type of data is crucial for creating long-term sustainable solutions, and the results confirm that collaboration between logistics and digital technology is key to reducing food waste on a large scale. An essential part of this work has been involving goods owners in the process, enabling the broader implementation of the solution and fostering a greater understanding of how to reduce waste.

Next Steps – Deepening the Collaboration

Tempcon Group is now exploring opportunities to develop the collaboration further to contribute even more to a sustainable food supply chain. By combining our expertise in temperature-controlled logistics with innovative digital solutions, we can create new ways to reduce food waste together.

Sustainability is an integral part of our operations, and we always strive to drive progress through concrete initiatives. The partnership with Foodtel is one of many steps we are taking to contribute to a more environmentally efficient logistics industry.
