How can food waste be reduced in a student home? My Fridge by O2 is a free, student based app which aims to reduce food waste in a student home. The app does this by allowing the user to scan their receipt in after a shop, keeping a log of their food, notifiying them of expiry dates and suggesting recipes found in a student database. The My Fridge app works inconjunction with a smart fridge and smart oven creating a connected home. Shadowing and user research.
