App against food waste

Food waste is a First World Problem. In Germany alone, 18 million tons of food are thrown away each year - 40 percent by consumers themselves. Certain apps help you counteract the problem. To do so, you sign up for the app, select a restaurant and pick up a leftover box.

Which apps help to take action against food waste?

There are now a variety of apps that help you stop being so wasteful with food.

1. Too Good To Go already has 1,600 stores from different countries listed. Here you can select specific restaurants and buy a leftover box for little money or have the food filled in a package you bring yourself. This requires only a registration in the app.
2. ResQ Club follows the same principle as Too Good To Go. However, one advantage is that you can order the leftovers directly in the app or via the browser.
3. At Sir Plus, a startup in the build-up phase, rescued food (possibly already expired or sorted out) is shipped to your home.
4. At Etepetete you get vegetables without standard. Here you can order crooked or dented fruits and vegetables that do not meet the sales standard. However, these foods still taste!
5. The Too good for the garbage can! app, from the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture offers the opportunity to cook delicious recipes with just a few ingredients. In addition, the app provides you with useful tips such as "bread is much easier to enjoy if you cut it into slices."
