Frigo Amigo
Don’t throw away surplus food—share it with your neighbourhood through FrigoAmigo!
Description
Together, we can make a big difference
Did you know that households are the biggest source of food waste in the Netherlands? Every year, around 33 kilos of food per person ends up in the bin. That’s a waste of money and bad for the environment! Frigo Amigo’s public refrigerators are an easy way to help reduce food waste.
Put your leftover food in the fridge and take anything you can use. You can share fruit, vegetables and packaged products that are still within their use-by date, among other things. We prefer not to include meat, alcohol, or prepared or opened food.
Why do we like it?
Frigo Amigo is such a great initiative because it helps reduce food waste while also bringing people in the neighbourhood together. Leftover food gets a second chance, and neighbours can easily share with and help one another.
