Too Good To Go
Too Good To Go is a company located in Copenhagen that wants to reduce food waste. The company was started by five entrepreneurs who started the idea when they saw the food from a buffet being thrown out after closing. They thought this food was "Too Good To Go" and from there the idea originated for the company: an app to help prevent this huge food waste in Denmark. Every year, more than 700,000 tonnes of food are thrown out in the garbage bin in the Danish households, which is why the battle for food waste is a major problem. The company started in Denmark in 2016, when their app was launched. This app allows you to both reduce food waste, provide a good meal for cheap money as well as support local businesses. In addition, both businesses and consumers contribute to strengthening sustainability. Since their inception in 2016, Too Good To Go has become a great place, which has now become not only Denmark's largest, but the world's largest online marketplace for surplus food.
In addition to their app, Too Good To Go opened their premises in Frederiksberg which is called Too Good To Go House. This house is dedicated to teaching people, whether you are a student or a teacher, about food waste and the fight against it. Here, various activities are arranged where it is possible to get by and save surplus goods. So if you are in the inner city, you can easily walk past the House on Frederiksberg and see what they have to offer. Furthermore, at Too Good To Go you can find a webshop, which is a marketplace for delicious surplus goods.
