Too Good To Go launches Chefs against Food Waste campaign

More than a third of all food is wasted. According to a study by Danone and Too Good To Go, around 78 percent of all Swiss respondents consider this high figure to be problematic or very problematic. In addition to the importance of their own role, the respondents also see the responsibility of the catering industry, among others. According to the Federal Office for the Environment, more than 2.8 million tons of food waste are produced in Switzerland every year.

Star chefs against food waste

Together with Too Good To Go, the three Michelin-starred chefs Antonio Colaianni, Pascal Steffen and Serge Labrosse are making a statement against food waste. As part of a two-week campaign, the chefs of the restaurants Ornellaia Zurich, Roots Basel and La Chaumière Geneva have created simple zero-waste recipes to try out.

This is intended to give private households an idea of how easily they can prepare a delicious meal from food scraps. "The campaign raises awareness of food waste among the Swiss population even more, because only together can we get closer to a planet without food waste," explains Alina Swirski, Country Manager at Too Good To Go Switzerland.

Win gourmet experience

A competition has also been launched in collaboration with Switzerland Tourism (ST). Until mid-May, all users of the Too-Good-To-Go app who have saved at least two meals from one or more of the more than 5,200 partner establishments during this period have the chance to win a dinner for two at one of these three Michelin restaurants, including an overnight stay in a hotel that has been awarded the Swisstainable label.

In addition, app users will be able to reserve a gourmet surprise package for CHF 4.90 from May 11 to 13. During this period, a limited number of pieces per star chef will be available daily in Zurich, Basel and Geneva.
