Fight against food waste
Our environmental impact
One third of what we produce is produced… for nothing!
Did you know ? Every year, Switzerland produces 2.8 million tonnes of food waste. At least two-thirds of these losses are avoidable, i.e. the food could still have been eaten when it was thrown away if it had been used in time.*

Collection of unsold and surplus goods from food companies
Partage actively fights against food waste by collecting unsold and surplus products from Geneva’s shops and food companies: fresh products, dry products with a long shelf life, fruits and vegetables, hygiene products.
Valuation of food surpluses
Innovative projects
Partage is positioned in the processing of perishable foodstuffs, in particular with the development of projects for the valorisation of foodstuffs and the processing of fresh products from overproduction. These include making cookies from unsold bread and dehydrating fruit.
Distribution of food that can still be eaten
Partage wishes to offer foodstuffs after the minimum durability date to beneficiary institutions, provided that the quality and safety of the products are guaranteed.
