How to reduce Food Waste?

  1. Ask for smaller portions
    It could be beneficial for both our health and environment to think twice if and how much hungry we are. Start with a small portion on your plate.
  2. Love your leftovers
    Instead of scraping leftovers into the bin, use them as ingredients for tomorrow’s meal, or simply reheat them as the same meal again. Remember, if you want to use leftovers, it’s very important to store them in the fridge or freezer within two hours of preparing your meal.
  3. Practice FIFO: First in first out
    Keep in mind to choose products from your fridge that were the first ones that you bought and try to put them in the fridge or carbon in a way of «new product at the back!»
  4. Sharing is caring
    Give food to people in need and prevent food waste by helping and caring.
