Unilever committed to halving food waste by 2025
Unilever is committed to halving food waste across all its operations from factory to shelf by 2025. As Unilever cannot do this along, it is working with partners across the food chain, including Too Good To Go, to change the system and help end food waste.
Debora van der Zee-Denekamp, General Manager, Unilever Nutrition Northern Europe, says, “We have halved our food waste from production to supermarket shelves in the Netherlands in the past two years. Our work with Too Good To Go is part of that and this new opportunity to deliver products that can no longer be sold through regular channels directly to people’s homes is really exciting.”
In partnership with Unilever, Too Good To Go is now letting people across the Netherlands order a box of products from Knorr and other well-loved local brands, including Unox, Calvé and Conimex, to be delivered directly to their homes.
Giving consumers more direct access to products that are close to their sell-by date, combined with easier access for those who cannot pick up at designated times or who live outside participating cities, will hopefully increase the amount of good food saved.
Unilever and Too Good To Go are calling on other food companies to join us, so we can work to reduce food waste together.
Too Good to Go connects people to food suppliers who are selling leftover products that are entirely edible, despite creeping closer to their ‘best before’ date.
Using the app, people can reserve and pick up products that would otherwise be thrown away, from nearby restaurants, bakeries or supermarkets. Offering a considerable discount on the food sold, it’s a win for both consumers and the planet.
With 3.5 million users in the Netherlands alone, 16 million meals have already been saved from the bin and a new feature being introduced to the app could help make that number even greater.
