Reduce Food Loss
 

Save Food, Protect Our Planet

 

Each year, grocery stores in Switzerland discard approximately 100,000 tons of perfectly edible food. Reducing this waste isn’t just about saving food—it’s about saving resources, cutting emissions, and creating a more sustainable future.

 

By minimizing food waste, stores and individuals alike can significantly reduce their carbon footprint. In fact, food production contributes to nearly 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. When we waste food, we waste the resources, energy, and labor that went into producing it.

 

Why Reducing Food Waste Matters

- Environmental Impact: Less food waste means fewer emissions and reduced strain on our planet’s resources.

- Social Responsibility: With millions facing food insecurity, every saved meal counts.

- Economic Benefits: Reducing waste saves money and creates a more efficient food system.

- Carbon Emissions: Cutting waste directly helps in the fight against climate change.

​

The Scale of Food Waste in Switzerland

- 2.8 million tons of food waste annually

- 330 kg per person—more than most people realize!

 

Where Does This Waste Come From?

Food waste comes from multiple sources, primarily:

- Grocery Stores

- Households
