Olio has been selected for the Impact Fifty Award
Olio
Olio is a free app on a mission to tackle the gigantic problem of consumption-to-waste in food and household items. Olio connects people with their local community, enabling them to connect with their local neighbours and find a new home for their items, as opposed to throwing them out. For example, globally, a third of all food produced is wasted each year, costing over $1 trillion with a devastating impact on the environment. It’s estimated that the UK alone throws away 9.5 million tonnes of food annually and one of Olio’s purposes is to address this head-on with a simple motto– Share More, Waste Less. Olio now has six million users that have shared 66 million portions of food and 6 million household items. By 2030, they plan to grow their user base to over a billion people ensuring that the world's most precious resources can be shared, not thrown away
