Each year, each Frenchman throws nearly 20 kg of food that is still consumable. Fortunately, eco-friendly entrepreneurs innovate against food waste.

A Green Omni against Food Waste

It is an idea of ​​students. At a time when one is worried about his pro orientation or his first job, Clarisse, Virgile and Thomas are worried about the future of our planet. On the benches of the school, they take stock: 1 / One hour before the closing of the small shops, the stalls are full of perishable food = big mess. 2 / Delivering to eat after 10 pm, it is mission impossible (offer riquiqui, superlong waiting times ...) while the demand is strong. That's how they get the idea of ​​creating anfourmiiverte.com . To validate their last year of master, they do door-to-door to bakers, caterers and small traders, to recover their unsold . Then, they deliver them by bike, at night, to hungry revelers and people working in off-beat times. Bingo: orders are coming in.

Ecological and solidarity

But no question for them, once the tour finished, to throw the unsold ones in the trash. To complete the loop, before going to bed, the start-up donates the remaining food to partner associations. For the moment, A Fourmii Verte only delivers in a few districts of the capital: "We want to grow at our own pace to maintain control over quality. But our participatory fundraising campaign exceeded our goals. We will be able to change offices and develop our logistical means ", assures the team. It is all the evil we wish them.
