Coop Denmark Steps Up Food Waste Reduction Measures

Coop Denmark has announced that it has teamed up with Stop Spild Lokalt to step up the donation of surplus food in a bid to reduce wastage.

Stop Spild Lokalt is a voluntary organisation that distributes surplus food to the needy across Denmark.

As part of the agreement, the retailer will donate surplus food from 200 stores to the organisation during holidays and on a regular basis.

Coop Denmark has pledged to cut food waste by half by 2020 and has been working systematically to reduce wastage since 2013.
