Ho progettato un'infrastruttura logistica per azzerare lo spreco alimentare
"Zero Waste Bridge" è un progetto logistico per recuperare il cibo fresco invenduto a Milano, trattarlo termicamente e spedirlo in Africa usando risorse già esistenti, con un costo stimato di 0,23 € a pasto. L'autore chiede il parere di esperti per individuare eventuali criticità strutturali.
Background
- **Zero Waste Bridge**: A proposed project to take unsold fresh food from Milan's supermarkets/restaurants, thermally process it, and ship it to food-insecure regions in Africa using existing but underutilized cargo routes (empty backhauls). Founder claims ~€0.23 per meal delivered.
- Milan generates huge daily volumes of unsold food. Meanwhile, Africa faces chronic food insecurity. The reuse of "empty backhaul" cargo space (trucks, ships returning empty) is a real but underused logistics resource.
- Why it matters: Redistributing perishable food across continents is notoriously hard and expensive. Thermal processing adds cost and reduces nutrition. Food safety regulations, customs, cold chain, and recipient-side infrastructure are typical dealbreakers. The founder is asking HN for technical critique of a high-risk moonshot idea.
