Our Mission
Reducing food waste one meal at a time
The WasteLess Story
WasteLess was born from a simple observation: while supermarkets throw away perfectly good food, many people struggle to afford groceries. We saw an opportunity to connect these two problems with a solution that benefits everyone.
The Food Waste Crisis
Globally, about one-third of all food produced for human consumption goes to waste. In developed countries, this waste happens mostly at the retail and consumer levels. Supermarkets discard food that's still edible but nearing its expiration date, simply because they can't sell it fast enough.
Did You Know?
If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China and the United States.
Our Solution
WasteLess creates a marketplace for soon-to-expire food products. Supermarkets can list these items at discounted prices, consumers get access to affordable groceries, and together we keep perfectly good food out of landfills.
The Team
We're a diverse group of environmentalists, technologists, and food industry veterans united by a common goal: to make our food system more sustainable and equitable.
