Problem
A significant amount of edible food is wasted daily by food and beverage businesses due to overstocking, expiring products, and changing consumer demand. This results in financial losses for businesses and contributes to environmental problems through landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
Solution
ReMeal provides a mobile platform that connects consumers with cafes, bakeries, supermarkets, and restaurants to purchase surplus food at discounted prices. The application allows businesses to list unsold food items, which would otherwise be discarded, making them available to consumers at reduced rates. This enables businesses to recover costs on surplus inventory, reduces food waste, and offers consumers affordable meal options. ReMeal also partners with composting facilities and biogas plants to repurpose inedible waste, creating value even from what can’t be consumed.
