Let’s get sorted for less waste and more taste

We don’t want to waste produce bought or delicious food made. Let’s store and save our food in a better way. Join us and let’s get sorted with organising our fridges, freezers, cupboards and pantries so we waste less food.

Smart planning and food storing = less waste

Planning meals before you shop is a simple way to reduce food waste and save money. Check your fridge or pantry for what you already have to use older items first. Plan meals around those ingredients and set the humidity of your crisper drawers and write a shopping list based on your plan.

Plenty of yum for later

Para não esquecer fruta e vegetais frescos, lave, seque e distribua em quantidades para levar em sacos reutilizáveis ISTAD, guardando no frigorífico ou congelador. Lancheiras empilháveis UTBJUDA são ideais para almoço. Um termo para alimentos EFTERFRÅGAD mantém a sopa quente.

Leftovers for everyone!

Don’t let the yumminess go to waste. Portion up what’s left so everyone goes home with something delicious or invite friends to bring their favourite leftovers for a "leftover pot-luck". Result: more tasty food for everyone and less food wasted.

Put a label on it

Label containers with content and storage date for pantry or fridge/freezer to know freshness. Check dates often and use the oldest food first.

Avoiding food waste can save time and money

Eliminating food waste is super easy if you make sure you can see what you have, label it with the date you purchased, store what you don’t need to eat right now and save it for later. That way, nothing goes to waste, and you save time and money.
