We dream of a waste-free world
A billion tiny actions got us into this mess. A billion tiny actions can get us out.
The climate crisis can make us all feel helpless
but what we do as individuals does count
The problem
Our culture of overconsumption has created a monumental waste problem.
Not just in-the-bin waste, but the kind of stuff we all have around the house that never gets used.
It’s hurting us, and the planet.
The solution
Share more,
waste less
Olio: the feel-good sharing app
The Olio Story
Now, we fight anything going to waste.
From toys to toiletries to tupperware.

The lightbulb moment for Olio came during Tessa’s house move.
Everything was packed and ready to go, but the fridge was still full. She couldn’t bear to see perfectly good food go in the bin, and knew that someone nearby would take it off her hands.
As she trawled the streets looking for someone who might be able to use her spare food, Tessa knew there had to be an easier way to connect with people. And so the concept of Olio was born.
