IKEA Southampton reduces food waste by 75% with Winnow

IKEA faced the challenge of significantly reducing food waste across its global operations as part of its "Food Is Precious" initiative. To tackle this, IKEA partnered with the vendor Winnow, utilizing its smart scale technology to understand and measure the sources of waste in its commercial kitchens.

By implementing Winnow's system, the IKEA Southampton kitchen was able to track waste data daily, focusing on correcting top errors and using insights to better forecast demand. This solution led to dramatic results, including a 75% reduction in food waste and cost savings of over €87,500 at that single location. Globally, Winnow helped IKEA save over 1 million meals, proving the measurable impact of the partnership.
