Too Good To Go manages food waste

Take-Out At Discounted Prices – Creative Ways To Manage Surplus Food

Posted on October 25, 2019March 2, 2021 by Jamie

What if I told you there was a way to take home food from over hundreds of restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets, at a discount, with just the click of a button?

A movement to reduce food waste

Now, what if I told you that all that food would otherwise be thrown in the trash at the end of the day? All of these establishments abide by strict rules and unsold products are usually thrown out by day’s end.

Consider This:

In the EU alone, there are more than half a million landfills (The Financial Times, 2018).

Food waste (*) makes up 21% of landfill volume (FAO 2016).

In industrialized countries, 40% of losses occur at the retail or consumer level: via transport or thrown away by supermarkets or consumers (FAO 2016).

There are currently no compulsory EU rules on collecting organic food waste.

Landfills around the world are running out of space (Curry & Pillay, 2012).

Food Waste Warriors

Luckily there are companies tackling the fight against food waste. Located in 13 countries, including Germany, Too Good To Go allows restaurants, cafes, bakeries and supermarkets to sell their unsold food. Customers can then pick up perfectly edible food at drastically reduced prices.

(*) “Food waste”: food appropriate for human consumption being discarded or left to spoil at consumer level – regardless of the cause (HLPE, 2014).
