Tackling Food Waste in India: How Plenti Empowers Consumers to Make a Difference

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.
