This action is scheduled to launch in October 2022, when Continente will be presenting the new products with the addition of the Too Good To Go app\u2019s seal.\r\n\r\nThis seal, developed by the app, and which already circulates on products and on shelves all over Europe, appeals to the use of the senses &#8211; sight, smell and taste &#8211; so that the consumer evaluates the product, after the end of the expiration date on minimum durability products\u2019 labels, attesting to whether it can still be consumed safely. According to the recent study \u2018Reflect. Rethink. Reconsider. Why Food Waste is Everybody\u2019s Problem\u2019, by \u2018CapGemini\u2019, \u201c<em>in the last year, there has been an 80% increase in online searches to understand how to extend the life of food products at home.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nFor now, Too Good To Go app\u2019s users can access Magic Boxes containing a selection of surplus food (quality food that was not sold during normal store hours) from the Take Away and Bakery sections, at any one of the 41 Continente stores, which are now available on the app. The user, when purchasing these Magic Boxes, always benefits from a 70% price reduction compared to the value of the products in the store. For instance, a selection of products worth \u20ac12 is sold, in the app, for \u20ac3.99.\r\n\r\n\u201c<em>Our user is aware of the importance of a more conscious and sustainable consumption, and sees in our app a cost benefit, which is also very relevant. A simple and practical way to acquire quality products at much more affordable prices, something that today, more than ever, makes a huge difference in families\u2019 budgets<\/em>&#8221; says Nuno Pl\u00e1cido, Too Good To Go Portugal\u2019s General Director.\r\n\r\n\u201c<em>As the country\u2019s leading food retailer, we have made this commitment \u2013 \u200b\u200bto fight food waste \u2013 towards the community and the environment. Our vision is to achieve 0% waste, but we are aware that this is a mission that must be carried out collectively, with the participation and contribution of all. This partnership connects all parties and promotes a dynamic in which we all win: the business, the consumer and the Planet<\/em>\u201d, says Pedro Lago, Director of Circular Economy and Sustainability Projects at MC.\r\n\r\nThe Too Good To Go app has been presenting itself as a recurring strategic solution in the fight against food waste &#8211; nationally and globally &#8211; and that allows its partners to play a really active role in a real problem. A solution that benefits everyone involved because it allows partners to dispose of their food surplus and optimize some operating costs, and users to purchase quality food at more affordable prices, so that everyone contributes to a planet with zero food waste.\r\n\r\nTo redeem the Magic Boxes, just download the Too Good To Go app, which is available for free for IOS and Android. Then, do a search for establishments in your area and save the desired number of Magic Boxes &#8211; which varies from establishment to establishment. Finally, the user must go to the chosen establishment to carry out the collection. Payment is made through the app, and the receipt is generated at the time of collection, at the established place and time indicated in the app, by the establishment itself.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Continente joined the food app with 41 of its stores, and is the first Iberian retailer to join the Too [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":12648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,175,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campaign","category-news","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
