About Olio
OLIO connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. This could be food nearing its sell-by date in local stores, spare home-grown vegetables, bread from your baker, or the groceries in your fridge when you go away. For your convenience, OLIO can also be used for non-food household items, too.

Steps this helps you take.
1/3 of the food we produce is being wasted or lost in the process along the value chain. Consumers are one part of the puzzle. Try to plan your meals, use opened items from your fridge quickly and pay special attention to animal products. Wasting animal products like meat or dairy uses the most resources in production and therefore has a big impact when not wasted. Ideally reduce meat and dairy products to a minimum.
Sharing or renting tools increases the usage of products and helps reduce the amount of rarely needed things in the world. Share your power tools like a drill, ladder, car, anything really with your friends and neighbours. Alternatively you can also rent the items at hardware stores or via sharing communities.
