Food waste is a pressing issue in India, with significant environmental, economic, and social implications. According to the United Nations Environment Programme's Food Waste Index Report 2021, Indian households generate approximately 68.7 million tonnes of food waste annually, averaging about 55 kilograms per person.
This wastage not only squanders valuable resources but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
The Plenti Solution
Inspired by global initiatives like the Too Good To Go app, Plenti aims to combat food waste in India by connecting consumers with local eateries and stores that have surplus food. This approach offers a dual benefit: reducing food waste and providing affordable meals to consumers.
How Plenti Works
  1. Discover Local Offers: Users can browse the Plenti app to find nearby restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores offering surplus food at discounted prices.

  3. Collect and Enjoy: At the designated time, users pick up their Surprise Bag and enjoy quality meals at a fraction of the original cost.
