SPAR saves 3.5 million meals with TooGoodToGo
SPAR’s partnership with social impact company Too Good To Go, has saved 3.5 million meals from going to waste in 14 countries. Since the launch of the international partnership in 2020, over 3,000 SPAR stores have actively been curbing food waste with the innovative digital solution across 14 SPAR countries. This has supported Too Good To Go’s recent global milestone of having saved 200 million meals.
In line with SPAR’s ethos of ‘Better Together,’ Too Good To Go’s app solution enables customers to pick up bags filled with quality products close to their expiry date at a much-reduced price, thereby helping SPAR reduce food waste. This option has proven to be particularly impactful for fresh food and short shelf-life items.
In September 2022, SPAR announced the milestone of having saved 2.5 million meals across fourteen European markets. Since then, increased uptake by independent SPAR retailers in these markets have brought this consumer-facing food waste option to even more of our shoppers.
After rolling out the Too Good To Go solution in October 2021, SPAR Austria has saved over 1,5 million meals from going to waste across 1,012 SPAR, EUROSPAR, and INTERSPAR stores nationwide. Following this success, INTERSPAR Austria is extending the cooperation to all 54 INTERSPAR restaurants throughout Austria. It is a first that customers can save ready-made meals from going to waste whilst saving money as these meals can be picked up for only €4.99 compared to the original selling price of €15.
SPAR UK has saved more than 580,000 meals from going to waste across 684 stores across the United Kingdom since utilising the Too Good To Go solution. SPAR Norway has, since April 2023, started trialing the Too Good To Go solution in eight stores across Norway.
