The problem
Each year, 1 in 6 meals served by UK hospitality businesses ends up in the bin.
Meanwhile, millions of people in the UK are going hungry, because they can’t afford to buy food.
Oh, and CO2 emissions from food waste are a massive contributor to the climate crisis. Pretty scary, right?
What your business can do about it
By sharing your good-to-eat spare food with local people through Olio (instead of binning it), you can help fight food waste, feed communities, and combat climate change.
So it’s not that scary, after all.
