Food Waste App Launched in Derbyshire Goes Nationwide

A free app, designed to prevent food waste and launched in Swadlincote earlier this year, is now available nationwide.

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. OLIO was launched in Swadlincote earlier this year as part of the town’s Waste Less, Save More campaign and is now available across the UK.
