Karma: The App Fighting (And Making Headway) In The Battle Of Food Waste - Forbes
Millions of tonnes of food are thrown away each year, around a third by restaurants and retailers, and much of it perfectly edible. One social startup that was quick to spot an opportunity in the mounting problem of food waste has come up with a clever solution.
Based in Sweden and London, Karma, has developed an app that connects hungry Londoners and Swedes with top restaurants offering surplus meals, all sold at half price or less. It's like Deliveroo but with a collection only service.
Launched in Sweden in 2016 Karma works with over 1,500 businesses, including restaurants, bakeries, hotels, and cafes, and three of Sweden's biggest supermarket chains.
