Eliminating Waste Loss

From time to time, reports have appeared in the news of food and other items going to waste due to the panic over Covid-19. These include local specialties for tourists, high-end confectionery intended as wedding favors and flowers abandoned because of cancelled events. It’s noteworthy that people have mobilized to buy these products to prevent losses. While people are being asked to refrain from going out, they can still buy these things from home, making it popular as a great way to support struggling businesses. In many cases you can get these things cheaply by ordering directly from suppliers via their websites.
