Developed in Denmark in 2015, Too Good To Go provides a solution to Responsible consumption & production – in line with sustainable development goals of the UN.
For a variety of reasons, it’s nearly hard for food businesses to predict how much surplus they’ll have at the end of the day, and what those things will be. Meanwhile, the issue of food waste is a significant barrier to resolving the climate catastrophe.
Because of this, Too Good To Go developed a solution to this issue, to decrease those waste surplus and increase producers revenues.
Too Good To Go’s unique and scalable smartphone app serves as a marketplace for this surplus food, connecting food producers with consumers prepared to purchase the food ahead of time and pick it up at a predetermined time. This can range from bakeries who must bake fresh every day to shops that have unsold groceries and restaurants that did not sell all of the food prepared for that day.
Positive facts :
- 65.2 million people finding and saving delicious food
- 171,862 businesses reducing their food waste
- 166 million surprise bags saved – and counting
- From the moment the first meal was saved through the app, 77,000 tons of co2e emissions have been saved
- Offers an alternative b2c marketplace for food, allowing for additional revenue and reaching new customers instead of paying for the removal of the food
- Can help to recover between 30-40% or the retail value of final products which would have been declared as lost
