To take the next step, and further reduce food waste, the Greenfood group is now looking for partners who see new opportunities in other leftovers from processing fruit and veget
Today, half of all plastic packaging is thrown away with household rubbish. The major food group Greenfood wants to change that, which is why they are launching a collaboration with Bower, the app that allows consumers to make money sorting and recycling their packaging. For Greenfood, it is another step in their work to minimize the company’s climate footprint and contribute to an increased circu

Transport electrification is a crucial piece of the puzzle in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, a burning issue for the climate. A prerequisite for electrified freight transport is good access to sustainable, efficient, and smart charging stations, which is why Greenfood is participating in an innovation project that will develop and install a scalable concept for charging heavy vehicles.
The collaboration between Greenfood and Rscued has undeniably borne fruit, thanks to several innovative ways to turn leftover fruit into juices and smoothies. Greenfood and Rscued will take the next step towards more sustainable food production by creating lush soil from non-edible food waste.

Innovative packaging and a circular approach that maximizes the use of raw materials. These are just a few examples of how Greenfood is constantly working to reduce food waste. The group is now taking the next step by joining SAMS (Cooperation for reduced food waste), a national agreement on food waste reduction.
Greenfood attaches great importance to minimizing the environmental and climate footprint of its packaging. Therefore, Daily Green's banana boxes are now being replaced with a brand-new box made from 100 percent recycled paper.

16,000 boiled and peeled eggs per hour generate an enormous amount of eggshells. In the work of preventing food waste, Sweden’s largest egg cooker, Mixum, has found a solution. To create a sustainable circular flow and utilisation of food waste, the eggshells are sent to local farms, where they add nutrients and are used as soil improvers.
Unnecessary food waste is a problem in the food industry. To bring attention to the issue, the UN has initiated the International Food Waste Day, which falls on 29 September every year. That is why Greenfood today highlights the important work being done to reduce food loss and food waste across the Greenfood Group.
Food waste occurs at all stages of the food chain, such as in agriculture, the
