WASTENOMORE-SMART FOOD WASTE LOGGER AND REDISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Abstract

Food waste has emerged as a major global
challenge affecting environmental sustainability,
economic development, and food security. Large
quantities of edible food are wasted daily in
restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, supermarkets, and
social events due to poor planning, inefficient
inventory management, and the absence of
organized redistribution systems. At the same time,
millions of people continue to face hunger and
malnutrition. The WasteNoMore – Smart Food
Waste Logger and Redistribution System is
proposed as a web-based platform designed to
minimize food wastage and facilitate efficient food
redistribution through digital technologies. The
system enables donors to log surplus food details
such as quantity, location, preparation time, and
expiry status, while users and NGOs can search and
request nearby food in real time. The proposed
platform integrates food tracking, request
management, messaging services, and centralized
database management to improve coordination
between donors and receivers. The system is
developed using Java, JSP, Servlets, Hibernate,
MySQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, ensuring
scalability, reliability, and secure data handling. By
automating food donation workflows and enabling
real-time communication, the platform reduces
manual effort and increases transparency in food
donation activities. The proposed system also
contributes to environmental sustainability by
reducing landfill waste and greenhouse gas
emissions caused by food disposal. In addition, it
promotes social responsibility by ensuring that
surplus food reaches needy individuals and
organizations before spoilage. The WasteNoMore
system demonstrates how modern web
technologies can be utilized to address real-world
social problems effectively and support sustainable
food management practices
