Cause１：Measure
Here, let's think about measures for food loss at convenience stores and supermarkets.！
Convenience store
In recent years, there has been a movement in which sellers and buyers work together to reduce food waste！
Therefore, we have established a system that puts a mark such as a sticker on products that are just before the expiration date and gives those who have purchased these and registered as members a point that can be used in the same way as cash every 100 yen.
The ingenuity of the seller is encouraging consumers to buy products with expiration dates.！
Why convenience stores don't sell
First of all, it seems that the aim is to avoid "price reduction battles" with supermarkets and other retailers.
And it may be more appropriate to say "can't" than "not".
Because, as I wrote on the previous page, the cost of disposal loss is already included.
Is the history of disposal incorporated...？
You buy a lot in preparation for food loss, and you make a profit by selling absolutely without missing items.
It's the same as the loss caused by seasonal products during the "processing" process.
After all, we need to be tolerant of our "sold out"！

However, convenience stores have the advantage and the concept of getting what you want when you want it.
That's why there's a way to reduce waste by making sure you have exactly what you want！
Super market
What about supermarkets？
Supermarkets offer discounts on foods that last only one day, such as side dishes, just before the store closes, so as to minimize unsold products.
In addition, discounts will be offered to other items whose expiration date is near or that are unpopular and surplus.
Supermarkets also sell a lot of products with shorter shelf life than convenience stores, so it may be necessary to pay more attention to discounts and product management.
