| I thought that both Olio and TooGoodToGo were now in quite common use nowadays by those who have the IT. I don't understand why they couldn't have just called in local companies like City Harvest or the Felix Project (that's now also FoodShare) to take food off their hands if they don't want to/can't yellow sticker it and put it on sale. They both have experience on how to distribute it. I believe we could then see it going to all sorts of local places like The Upper Room and Ealing Soup Kitchen etc which provide hot meals amongst the other places which receive donations. Every so often Defra announces that it is asking for companies and groups to come forward who feel that they can come up with ideas and events to repurpose excess food waste. There is a National Food Waste Conference in London in March 2026 which it looks like it should be something of interest for quite a lot of people. Perhaps some can find sponsorship to attend!? https://www.letsrecycle.com/event/national-food-waste-conference-2026/ |
