Food wastage is trashing the environment, but sustainable food delivery app Too Good to Go might hold the solution. Described as a ‘win-win-win’ situation, Future 50 inductee Anoushka Grover explains why.

It’s hard to imagine that something so delicious could be so destructive. No, not to your waistline, I mean the food ‘waste’ that is directly responsible for 8% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the answer to the world’s climate problem could be fixed by opening your gob? Well, actually... it can, according to the world’s largest B2C marketplace for surplus food, Too Good To Go – a digital alternative to ’skipping’, only less bin juice and more legal.

A game changer in the sustainability market, the sustainable food delivery app lets people buy surplus food and drink from pubs, restaurants, retailers and producers to stop it from going to waste, saving 100,000 meals every day.

“Customers pay with their magic bag, we take a small admin fee and the store gets paid the rest of the money,” explains Grover. “It’s a win for the store that gets the money for the food they’d have to throw away, and the customers get great food at a great price.” Win-win-win.
