Tackling Food Waste with Co-op and Caboodle

Empowering retailers and communities to tackle unnecessary food waste, by making it easier than ever to redistribute fresh, nutritious, surplus food from supermarkets, cafés, and retailers out into the community.

The Co-op and Microsoft have teamed up to help reduce food wastage, launching a new technology platform Caboodle, which, is set to save hundreds of thousands of tonnes of edible food from being thrown away.

The new platform will allow supermarkets, cafés and restaurants to connect with community groups and volunteers to redistribute surplus food.

Caboodle is open to charities and community groups of all kinds, from foodbanks and family support networks to youth groups, schools and more.

Volunteering opportunities are highlighted through its online noticeboard and those who want to volunteer to help redistribute food can enter their postcode to find a local group they’d like to work with.
