Bento Partners with Too Good To Go to Combat Food Waste in Canada

Bento Inc. and Too Good To Go have joined forces to provide affordable sushi and meals across Canada. This collaboration aims to reduce food waste by selling surplus sushi through 80 locations in five provinces, including 66 grocery kiosks. Initially launched as a pilot in 2022, the partnership has expanded significantly, with plans for further growth. To date, over 26,000 Bento meals have been saved, equating to more than 70,000 kg of CO2e avoided.

Bento's initiative allows consumers access to Surprise Bags, featuring products near their best-before dates, at discounted prices. This endeavor not only reduces food waste but also boosts Bento's sustainability goals and employee engagement. The partnership also offers an opportunity to introduce Bento's products to new consumers. The Too Good To Go app facilitates this process, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
