OneThird

OneThird is a food waste technology company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Enschede, the Netherlands. It develops AI scanners that predict the shelf life and ripeness of fresh produce to help supply chains cut avoidable waste.

The scanners use near-infrared and multispectral imaging, combined with a smartphone app and a cloud quality-insights platform, to analyze attributes such as Brix value, dry matter, visual defects and shelf life for products including strawberries, blueberries and avocados. Growers, distributors and retailers use the resulting data and API-connected dashboards; adopters include Jumbo, Nature’s Pride, EDEKA, REWE, Migros, Coop, K-citymarket, ICA and Meny.
