Description
Established in December 2020, Opi-Foods Ltd. is a forward-thinking startup with a clear mission: to combat food waste through its innovative Fooddonate project.
The Fooddonate initiative centers around the development of a web application serving as a marketplace, providing a platform where Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering (HORECA) businesses can generously offer surplus food for donation. This groundbreaking web app empowers users to conveniently book and pay for boxes filled with excess food from partner food stores. Furthermore, users have the flexibility to choose the NGO or foster home to which they''d like these food boxes delivered. Fooddonate takes charge of the logistics, ensuring seamless transportation from the food store to the chosen beneficiaries. Notably, the end user solely facilitates the donation process via the web platform, eliminating the need to visit food stores physically. Time constraints on donations are nonexistent, enhancing user convenience.
The project boasts significant outcomes, including enhancing the company''s market positioning, fostering growth in turnover, increasing net operational profit, and creating employment opportunities. Additionally, the initiative is primed to make a substantial impact in reducing daily food waste, contributing to significant environmental benefits. Over a span of five years, Fooddonate is expected to save approximately 14 tons of CO2 emission equivalents. This remarkable feat is achieved by preventing the wastage of 3,200 surprise meals, each weighing 1 kg, leading to a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. Beyond waste reduction, Fooddonate seeks to streamline and simplify the food donation process, making it a seamless experience for all users.
