Too Good To Go lets people buy surplus food from restaurants, convenience retailers and producers to stop it from going to waste.

App users then purchase a ‘Magic Bag’, collect it at an allotted time and enjoy the contents.

To date, customers have been able to pick-up over 260,000 Magic Bags across Europe from the extensive EG Group network, with 111,000 Magic Bags picked up in the UK alone. Globally, circa 650 tonnes of CO2e emissions have been saved by the EG Group and Too Good To Go partnership.

“Surplus food waste is an ongoing concern across the convenience retail and food service sectors. We are delighted to have partnered with Too Good To Go as we strive towards reducing carbon emissions and more importantly, help reduce food waste,” said Salim Hasan, Group COO at EG Group.

Since the launch of the partnership in October 2020, circa 800 stores and concessions have gone live on the Too Good To Go platform across the United Kingdom and Europe.

“The EG Group executive team has brought a refreshing forward-thinking attitude and commitment to fighting food waste. We are looking forward to seeing our partnership develop and grow in the coming months and years,” said Paschalis Loucaides, UK Managing Director, Too Good To Go.
