'Over a billion metric tonnes of food is wasted each year.

Food waste management is crucial — the issue currently contributes 10 per cent
of global greenhouse gas emissions at a time when 783 million people around the
world face chronic hunger.

According to the most recent UN Environment Programme's Food Waste Index
Report
, about 28 per cent of food waste is from food services.

Now, one Thai company is trying to lower that statistic.

Launched in 2021, Yindii acts as a food ordering service similar to Uber Eats.

Vendors sell leftover food that would otherwise be wasted at a heavy discount,
and customers can order a "mystery box".

Co-founder Mahima Rajangam said everyone won from the model.'
