EcoPlate

Developed by Unitech Information Technologies Ltd., EcoPlate is an AI and IoT-driven smart ecosystem designed to tackle large-scale banquet and event food waste. In convention halls, community centers, and wedding venues, over-catering is culturally and operationally unavoidable due to unpredictable guest turnouts. Hosts routinely prepare a 15–20% safety buffer, leaving massive amounts of pristine, untouched food to be discarded.

How EcoPlate Works:

1. Adaptive AI Surplus Forecasting: Uses real-time footfall and event timeline tracking to project surplus volume 30–45 minutes before an event ends, respecting host hospitality without forcing under-cooking.

2. AI Food Safety Estimator: Analyzes dish category, preparation time, and ambient temperature to assign precise, safe consumption windows.

3. Smart Redistribution Logistics: Instantly dispatches nearby verified NGO and volunteer networks using thermal-controlled rapid delivery routes.

Impact & SDG Alignment:

- SDG 2 (Zero Hunger): Converts untouched banquet surplus into thousands of nutritious meals daily for vulnerable communities.

- SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption): Directly reduces organic landfill waste and curbs harmful methane emissions.

- Economic Value: Provides event venues with certified CSR achievements, carbon-offset tracking, and operational analytics.
