Our story
1/3

€143 billion

Food loss and food waste are substantial problems throughout the entire food value chain. Get Wasted solves this problem with an innovative online marketplace for food surpluses. From a circular perspective, the waste of one player is the raw material for another. Get Wasted gives food surpluses a second life, instead of letting them go to waste. We bring together all actors in the food value chain, from farmers, auctions and the food processing industry, to the social economy and even schools, in one ecosystem. Buying and selling surplus food products has never been easier. Let’s get started together.
