How to Combat Food Waste with Technology with Tessa Clarke
Episode description
Today we sat down with Tessa Clarke, the co-founder of OLIO, an app that connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so that surplus food can be shared and saved, instead of being thrown away.
Whether this is food nearing its sell-by date in local stores, bread from the bakers or groceries in the fridge - simply open the app, add a photo, description when the item is available for pick-up and you’re done! OLIO can even be used for non-food household items too.
Stay tuned to learn about her ‘lightbulb’ moment of creating the app, the challenges she's faced since its launch in 2015, followed by the company's many successes and growth.
