So it’s no surprise then that apps designed to combat food waste – by giving consumers the opportunity to purchase leftover, expiring or misshapen food at discount prices – have become increasingly popular in recent years. Some of these apps have millions of users in the US, and are growing internationally. TikTok users often post videos of the food they have salvaged from restaurants through the apps, and a Reddit community with more than 12,000 members shares photos of their hauls.
“For me, the most impactful way to make a difference was really to enable every one of us to make a difference,” said Lucie Basch, co-founder of the app Too Good to Go. “The idea of the app, of technology in the digital world today, is that it connects each other to one another, and that’s your chance to really make a difference.”
