If you love leftovers and are passionate about tackling food waste and make sustainable choices, you’re going to love what we’re sharing...

Today, we’re spotlighting a game-changing app helping to fight food waste: Too Good To Go. This platform is turning surplus food into savings, sustainability, and smiles!

This innovative app connects businesses with surplus food to eco-conscious shoppers (YOU) looking for delicious deals. Their mission? To rescue perfectly good food from being thrown away and turn it into savings for consumers, revenue for businesses, and wins for the planet.

Since its start in 2016, this certified B-Corp has partnered with 170,000 businesses across 19 countries, saving over 350 million meals from waste. That’s 891,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions avoided—the equivalent of taking 200,000 cars off the road for a year!
