Walmart Inc. is rolling out technology to help store associates increase the sustainability of the retailer’s food waste stream. The discount giant is implementing new technology from organics recycler Denali, as well as simplified processes, to aid associates in more efficiently "depackaging" food waste. Called Zero Depack, the new program removes expired food intended for the waste stream from its packaging.
