Alert device for food waste - a invention by a 11 year old girl


A UK-based student has found a tool that warns of waste of fruits. She is gaining everyone's appreciation. 

Ruman Malik, a 11-year-old student, is studying at a school in Lincolnshire, England. She has invented a fruit bowl called "Alarm Cup" that sounds an alarm when its contents are about to expire. It will help to cut down on food waste. This fruit bowl has small touchscreens and icons to display. This will warn the users 2 days before it goes off.

This invention of Ruman has won in the competition conducted by online grocer Okoda . Ruman hopes that this can prevent the yearly wastage of 13 billion euros worth. The Okoda Company, which appreciated Ruman, has now stepped up to introduce more features in this Alarm Cup.
