Description

Millions of tonnes of foods are thrown away in the worlds, tones each hour. This waste costs sever-
al milliards of euro yearly. The founders of the idea Brian Christensen, Thomas Bjørn Momsen, Stian
Olesen, Klaus Bagge Pedersen, and Adam Sigbrand decided that an App that can bring together restau-
rants and customers will solve this issue. Eg, in France 14 326 540 rescued baskets of food helps to save
35 816 tonnes of CO2.

Too Good To Go is a free mobile application that connects customers to restaurants and stores that
have unsold, surplus food.

It is an application that allows everyone to get involved in the fight against food wastage on their own
scale, by enjoying themselves and forging close ties. Shopkeepers no longer throw away; customers eat
while reducing wastage, the environment is better off.

How it works? Download an App on Apple Store or Google Play – Find your favourite food – Go and
rescue your food!
