ESS and Olio Win Let's Recycle Food Waste Initiative of the Year at Awards for Excellence

06 May 2025

We are delighted to have won Food Waste Initiative of the Year at the Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management for our partnership with Olio! 

We have been working with Olio since 2023 to redistribute good-to-eat surplus food to our local communities, supporting a reduction in food waste and helping people in need. 🌍👪

We started by donating pre-packed products, fruit and vegetables and introduced cooked food collections late last year. Since the partnership commenced, there have been:

 🍏 35,543 kg or 105,031 items of edible food saved 🥘

🍽️ 75,131 meals donated and 4,270 households fed 🏠

This was a great end to the week which saw us mark Stop Food Waste Day across our business!
