Tsenso equips food crates with small temperature sensors to ensure that the cold chain between the manufacturer and the retailer remains unbroken and the products stay fresh. The sensors are battery-powered and have a lifespan of at least one year. Currently, retailers dispose of the sensors as soon as the goods are received. As a result, thousands of fully functional battery-powered sensors are regularly discarded after a single use. Eventually, Tsenso tries to establish a take-back and re-use system for electronic sensors.
