Elmbridge Eco Hub Community Fridge - Addressing Food Waste

If you are concerned at the amount of food being wasted, thrown away as sell by dates approach, and creating a landfill problem, producing methane and other greenhouse gasses, then watch how the Elmbridge Eco Hub Community Fridge can help address the problem.

🌟 In this informative video, we explain how easy it is to access the Community Fridge and celebrate our milestones of diverting 21,680 kg of food from waste to 6,848 visitors in 2023. That’s over 72,300 meals saved! 🍽️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Our commitment to reducing food waste means rescuing items on their 'Best Before', but still full of flavour and nutrients. From surplus multipacks to fresh produce that would otherwise be thrown away—we're here to ensure it feeds people instead of bins.

Join us as we delve into the heart of our operation: donations from generous retailers and community members. See how every loaf of bread and piece of fruit makes a difference as we support those facing tough economic challenges. We're more than just a fridge; we are a movement towards a zero-waste future.

Nothing is wasted. Any surplus is composted for the community garden and food not suitable for humans is used as feed in local farms.

Your support is vital. Visit us at Elmbridge Eco Hub. Spread the word about our mission—because when you help spread awareness, you’re part of the solution too. Together let's continue turning potential waste into welcomed meals.
