Leftover Restaurant Food = $162 Million/Year Business

Too Good To Go
  • $162 Million annual revenue

From CNBC Make It on YouTube…

  • We Turned Leftover Restaurant Food Into A $162 Million/Year Business…

It’s a Danish 🇩🇰 company called Too Good To Go

Its app connects users to retailers selling surprise bags of leftover food at the end of the day.

Love that they turned a waste product (leftover food) into a highly profitable business 🤑

I’ve heard of other examples of this over the years…

  • Used coffee grounds > fertilizer or compost business
  • Spent grain from breweries > animal feed business
  • Sawdust from carpenters > eco-friendly fire logs
  • Used tires from auto shops > recycled rubber products
  • Fabric scraps from tailors > stuffing for cushions or pillows
  • Waste wood from tree trimming companies > firewood business

Think about the businesses in your area.

Do any of them produce a lot of waste? 🤔

Could you turn that waste into a business somehow?
