Description

Citizens from 17 different countries are actively participating in the fight against food waste by purchasing food at reduced prices. Since 2016, 152,746 food providers have joined the Too Good To Go community, and over 56 million people have saved food using the app. In total, more than 135 million meals have been saved, with a record-breaking 52 million meals saved in 2021 alone. This remarkable achievement underscores the widespread impact and commitment to sustainability by individuals and businesses alike.

Impact & Result

In 2021, the initiative successfully saved 52 million meals, which translated to an impressive 130,000 tons of CO₂ emissions avoided. This achievement highlights a significant step forward in reducing food waste and minimizing the environmental impact associated with it.

Solution Spotlight

For a myriad of reasons, it’s near-impossible for food businesses to know how much surplus they will have at the end of the day, and which items they will be. All the while the issue of food waste is a great challenge in solving the climate crisis. Too Good To Go's innovative and scalable smartphone app acts as a marketplace for this surplus food and connects food suppliers with consumers willing to purchase the food in advance and collect at a specified time. This can range from bakeries that need to bake fresh every day to supermarkets that have groceries that weren’t sold and restaurants that didn’t sell all the food they had catered for that day. Since launching the app in 2016, more than 37.5M meals have been saved, representing up to 77,000 tons of CO2.
