- Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart launched new discount labels for 'onigiri' rice balls and bento boxes on December 25, 2024, aimed at reducing food waste.
- These labels will be rolled out nationally starting March 2025, as part of a strategy to cut food wastage by 50% from 2018 levels by 2030.
- A trial in the Kanto region showed a 5 percentage point increase in the purchase rate of discounted items, potentially reducing food loss by about 3,000 metric tons annually.
- FamilyMart executive Hiroshi Iwasaki noted that increasing environmental awareness among consumers has made the new communication strategy effective.
