Germany has a big problem when it comes to food wastage, which is contributing to the country’s carbon emissions. That’s why SirPlus, a supermarket that only sells ‘rescued food’, has been created, helping people minimise their impact on the environment while picking up their groceries.

As Australians become more aware of the impact that plastic waste has on the environment, they’re looking for ways to make a difference. Viva la Cup, a reusable coffee cup network, is taking action on the problem of single-use cups – but how can it address the value-action gap among consumers?

Swedish anti-food wastage app has recieved a round of investment that will help the brand partner up with some of London and Sweden's major supermarkets. The app gives eco-concious users the opportunity to buy food that would otherwise be wasted for a fraction of the price.

People may be increasingly aware of how single-use plastics harm the environment, but acting on this knowledge is difficult. New York’s Package Free Shop offers an easy way to join the zero-waste movement by selling a range of sustainable products and educating people how to use them.
