Let’s talk about food waste

Why you’ll love OLIO

Leah, London

“We can give, we can take, and we reduce waste. A sustainable lifestyle isn’t just a ‘try it once and see’ kind of thing. You have to keep at it. So we did!”

Taras, Stockholm

“Sharing food feels amazing! It only takes a few minutes, but sometimes it can be the best thing that happens in my day! I love meeting different people who come to pick-up my food and the interesting conversations that place on the doorstep.”

Natalie, Jersey

“Please, please use OLIO! OLIO is for everyone, and it brings people from all walks of life together, to achieve the app’s main goal – to reduce food waste and build food sharing communities!”
