Final Product

Problem Statement

• 40% of food goes uneaten in the U.S.
• Americans trash $165 billion in wasted food every year
• U.S. respondents estimated wasting $900 in household food each year
• 70% of people say they are bothered by the amount of food they waste

For the final project of the Product Design (MEAM 415) course at the University of Pennsylvania, I designed and prototyped an expiration alarm clock called "Waste-Less".  The user inputs their expirations into the device and it alerts the user as expiration dates approach.
