What are the different Destinations for inventory on Spoiler Alert?

The Spoiler Alert platform aligns its reporting capabilities with the Food Loss and Waste Accounting and Reporting Standard (FLW Standard), an internationally-recognized standard developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) in 2016, that outlines requirements and guidance for measuring and reporting on the weight of food and/or associated inedible parts that are removed from the supply chain, otherwise known as ‘food loss and waste’ (FLW).

When managing unsold inventory in the Spoiler Alert platform, you may track inventory that ends up in a number of ‘destinations’, or in other words, broad categories where material removed from the supply chain is destined. The menu of Destinations that may be available in your Spoiler Alert Enterprise Reporting are listed and defined in the table below.

Destination	Definition
Nonprofit Donation	Recovering wholesome food and distributing to charities to feed people
Animal Feed	Diverting material from the food supply chain to animals
Biomaterial / processing	Converting material into industrial products
