7. Our Solution – „Waste Not’
Donators Receivers
1) Joe‟s sandwich shop in
Peckham registers as a „Waste
Not Donator‟
3) Joe‟s upload that every
tuesday and thursday they have
between 20 - 40 sandwiches to
throw away.
6) Joe‟s recieve a „Waste Not
Donator‟ certification
2) Peckham Road Soup Kitchen
(PKRS) registers as a „Waste
Not Reciever‟
4) PRSK receive a notification
that Joe‟s sandwich shop have
between 20 - 40 sandwiches
5) Arrange to collect the
sandwiches from Joe‟s on
Tuesday and Thursdays
evenings.
7) Distribute sandwiches to the
homeless and hungry through the
Peckham Road Soup Kitchen
8. The Idea
Business with excess food
Charity in need of food
Both parties can log into mobile or
web app to arrange delivery of
food
9. Our Competitors
Love Food, Fare share and Food cycle are the UK‟s major Food
Charities
Between the three charities they have a total of 31 hubs around
the UK dedicated to serving food and educating the public to cut
down on food wastage.
Some business are working to distribute their waste food. For
example delivers 12,000 meals per week to the homeless
However, in June 2013 it was announce 18% of the UK‟s
population was living in food poverty and food wastage was at
high.
Why does it not work?
• Huge quantities of food is thrown away simply to avoid the
potential liability if people are taken ill.
• Laziness! We need to travel to them
• Apart from minor financial incentives, being conscientious with
food waste just isn‟t worth the while of a lot of businesses.
13. Educating with (branded) content
Webisodes of branded content highlighting the issues facing the world
Potential to get celebrities on board to help with PR
Fully charged is an online show hosted by Robert Llewellyn that discusses
climate change and renewable energy
We would partner with TED to host a series of talk around food waste
