Food rescue and storage: The initiative "Too good for the bin!" in Mönchengladbach

The topic of food waste is of great importance in Germany, because immense amounts of food are thrown away every year. A particularly impressive project for clarifying the correct storage of food is currently doing too good for the bin! . From September 4th to September 7th, 2023, this extraordinary project visits the Rheydter Marktplatz in Mönchengladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia.

The initiative comes from the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) and has set itself the goal of clarifying consumers: inside about the correct storage techniques and the importance of the food estimation. Why is it important that consumers know how to store food correctly? Each food has special requirements for temperature and humidity, which allows it to significantly extend their durability. A refrigerator that is over four meters high offers not only interesting information, but also entertainment for the whole family.

The way information is particularly clear how information is conveyed. The refrigerator is not just an exhibit, but also offers a variety of visually designed scenes and stories that the visitors inform: Interactive inside. For example, it shows how fruit and vegetables can be stored correctly in order to get their freshness. Such aha experiences are important to develop awareness of the correct handling of food.

The tour started on August 14, 2023 in Berlin and Mönchengladbach is already the fourth station of the fridge. Overall, the project will stop in ten cities to raise awareness of reducing food waste. This is particularly relevant because in Germany around eleven million tons of food waste are incurred annually, a significant part of which comes from private households.

The country's economic actors are also in demand to cause changes in the entire food supply chain. The national strategy for reducing food waste includes not only private households, but also the sectors of primary production, processing, and trade. The aim is to halve food waste in Germany by 2030.

The initiative too well for the bin! has been active since 2012 and is an important step to counter the food waste in our country. Because everyone can help to learn how to properly store and use food. Mönchengladbach becomes the center of consciousness about food rescue and storage for a few days.
