In a few words : you don't like food waste? Go for this app !!
But what could it be?
Too Good To Go is a Danish mobile application that connects its users with bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets and other catering professionals in order to offer them unsold items at reduced prices in the form of baskets to save. Every day and near you, thousands of merchants offer meals at low prices on this application.
Their goal is to contribute as much as possible to the creation of a global movement against food waste. To meet this major challenge, they decided to work on 4 pillars which are built around concrete objectives. Homes
47 million tonnes of food are thrown away each year by European households, which represents more than half of food waste in the European Union. They therefore want to encourage households to take part in the fight against food waste.
Professionals
Finding solutions to reduce food waste is essential for actors in the food chain. They therefore offer their partners the opportunity to create additional profit, while introducing their business to a new clientele and asserting themselves as a committed player. Food waste occurs at all stages of the food chain and its reduction is the challenge they want to take up in the future.
Education
Education plays a major role in reducing food waste. They fight against food waste alongside schools and universities, with the aim of teaching future generations to respect our resources and preserve our planet. They are aware that knowledge and education are essential in the fight against food waste.
Politics
Reducing food waste along the production chain requires public policies and regulations both internationally and nationally. They want to drive this change and actively help to make good practices the norm, in order to build a sustainable food system. Food waste is no longer only recognized as a major problem, but also as a challenge to be solved. This growing awareness is therefore making its way onto the political agendas of an ever-growing number of countries around the world.
Here are some figures to prove to you that this application is the APPLICATION of tomorrow :
- 11.5 million users in France are already saving baskets at... - 29,960 cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, bakers, hotels (and much more!) which represents... - 37 million meals saved!

I'm familiar with this application, and I find it truly important to actively participate and contribute to its propensity Your post is engaging, and your blog as a whole promotes a sustainable and practical approach : the home recipes take me by the sentiments. It covers a diverse range of topics that I relate to, and it's very accuracy . It's good to go on your blog.
I had tried the application once on the advice of a friend. However, I didn't really understand how it works. It's great that all these actors are participating together to reduce food waste. Thank you for all these explanations.
Hi!
Thank you for this article. I had no idea about this app. I'll surely use it now. Also, there's others apps that you can use who are similar, like phénix, or GEEV for furnitures.
Hello !
This is a really good article ! I really like Too Good To Go. When I lived in France, I used it really often. It was a good way to eat good food at really low prices.
Plus, products can be eaten later than what it is written on the date. I hate food waste so I really enjoy this innovation, and I think that we need more applications like this.
Plus, your article is really well written as you give us statistics that I did not know, so thank a lot !
