The DIRECT tool has been developed by RMIT University and Empauer to answer this question for you … but it can do so much more!

Businesses will be able to self-assess their food waste practices through the development of the online Dynamic Industry Resource Efficiency Calculation Tool (DIRECT).

They can use the data to identify opportunities to reduce food loss and waste and the costs associated with it. New income streams may eventuate, leading to a pivot from food waste costing industry to providing a revenue resource.
