SIRPLUS is a German-wide impact start-up that is committed to fighting food waste. We put surplus food back into circulation by selling it in our online shop. By working directly with 700 producers and wholesalers, we are able to save valuable food that is not collected by food banks but is still edible. In this way, we make the issue of food waste mainstream and encourage social, political and business rethinking. Together with our customers and partners, we make an important contribution to sustainable consumption and climate protection! Why we save and talk about saving

Germany wastes 18 million tons of food every year. That's one truckload every minute! According to WWF, 10 million tons of this is avoidable, while millions of tons of this is generated by producers, manufacturers and wholesalers and can be saved.

Almost half of the food waste in Germany occurs in private households, so we not only want to save food, but also raise awareness and attention to the sustainable use of precious resources. Our goal is to increase people's appreciation for food through our business model, media influence and educational work. We want to make it easy for everyone to be part of the solution and do good with their daily consumption.

There are more than 8 billion people in the world and we currently produce food for 12 billion of them. Enough food is wasted every year to feed four times the number of hungry people in the world. Food waste is not only a moral disaster, but also an ecological one, contributing 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Zero hunger and sustainable consumption and production are among the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals for good reason.
