Phenix Food Waste App
How would you like to get some of the best food deals in town, and fight food waste while you’re at it? Food waste app Phenix, launched earlier this year in partnership with OnTheList, is the clever solution behind this win-win situation, which has contributed to saving three tonnes of food waste since February. So, how does it work? Essentially, the app connects the F&B industry with consumers (i.e. us!) to repurpose unsold food at a reduced price of at least 50% off. Head to the app to shop your pick of discounted food baskets from the likes of Pret A Manger, Matchali, Chickpea and more (each basket is packed full of various perfectly-edible unsold goodies that would otherwise be disposed of at the end of that business day), then head down to your chosen store to pick up your treats.
