Mimica’s first patented product, Bump (previously Mimica Touch) is a responsive label or bottle cap that turns bumpy when food or drink spoils, based on actual temperature conditions. Using Bump enables the user to understand the true longevity of food freshness so one can consume it for longer, safely. Bump is a food freshness indicator that works in real-time, matching food spoilage, resulting in an accurate indication. The tactile interface allows access for visually impaired people and has been designed to be compatible with the principles of the circular economy. Bump can be attached to packages of any sizes and thanks to its low cost (∼1¢ per unit), it can be deployed across the entire supply chain. Bump significantly reduces the carbon footprint of food waste while increasing profitability and savings for producers, retailers and consumers.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Using Bump instead of out-dated expiry dating systems could reduce retail food waste by 50% and home waste by 60%
- •Bump is expected to save up to 30 million tonnes of food from landfill per year in European households alone (first targeted group: groups: juice, milk and meat)
- •Could save an estimated 125.95 million tonnes of CO2 emissions
The Financial Benefits
- •By implementing Bump there will be an increase of sales by 10%, cuts in retail waste of 50% and cuts in home waste of 63%
