Food waste is more than simply throwing out leftovers—it's wasting valuable resources, and hard-earned money, and adding to harmful greenhouse gas emissions. The good news? Even small changes in how we handle food can lead to a big impact!




Tips to Reduce Food Waste


  1. Rescue Surplus Food with Foodprint

    • Download the app and find eateries offering discounted surplus food near you.

    • Enjoy delicious food while saving money and reducing waste.

  2. Plan Your Meals

    • Create a weekly meal plan to avoid overbuying.

    • Stick to a shopping list to keep impulse purchases in check.

  3. Store Food Properly

    • Keep fruits and veggies fresh longer by storing them the right way.

    • Use airtight containers to extend the shelf life of pantry staples.

  4. Eat Your Leftovers

    • Get creative with leftovers! Turn last night’s dinner into today’s lunch.

    • Freeze extras for a quick and easy meal later.

  5. Try Composting

    • For food scraps you can’t eat, composting is a great way to reduce landfill waste.

    • Use the compost in your garden to grow your own veggies.

  6. Shop Local and Support Foodprint Businesses

    • Many amazing cafes and grocers partner with Foodprint to share their surplus. Support them by rescuing their delicious food and further show your support by buying from the regularly too.

  7. Practice FIFO (First In, First Out)

    • Organize your fridge and pantry so older items get used first.

    • Label containers with dates to keep track of what needs to be eaten and when.
