has summarized several private initiatives that help mitigate this waste. Too Good To Go, present in 19 countries, has prevented the waste of 25,000 tons of food in Spain in 2024, connecting businesses with surpluses and consumers through its app.
On the other hand, Coometas also facilitates the purchase of surpluses, but with a social focus, allowing vulnerable families to acquire food with the support of social entities. In 2024, it saved 26 tons of food in collaboration with more than 1,000 businesses.
Measuring and using waste
The French company Comerso, present in Spain since 2023, specializes in analyzing and reducing waste in companies. Its digital platform has managed to recover 130,000 tons of products since 2013, generating savings of 300 million euros for its clients.
