What should we rescue today?

What should we eat today? A question everyone ponders almost daily.

How about making it easy for yourself today by pulling out a selection of ready-made meals from your pocket at affordable prices? A couple of taps and you could pick up a meal from a nearby restaurant? And at the same time, you'd be making the environmentally friendly choice for the day? With ResQ Club, all of this is possible.

Globally, about one-third of all produced food ends up as waste. This means that a large portion of the resources required to produce, transport, store, and prepare food is wasted. Additionally, food waste contributes significantly to human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste is a massive but unnecessary problem.

Solving this problem, however, comes with a timeline. UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 aims to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses, by 2030.
