Unpopular opinion: i think the whole concept is just "selling a problem" instead of solving it. All the participating stores now can "green"-wash their hands and do literlay nothing against foodwaste and are just building am industry around it. Rather than ordering or producing less products in the first place.
I disagree, at least don't see that for any of the stores participating in my area. They don't like overproducing either, everything they throw away is a loss for them. But it's also difficult to predict how much you'll be able to sell on any given day. Bakeries for example usually bake only once a day in the early morning and they have to make an educated guess about how much of each item will be sold that day, but it's never gonna be a perfect guess. Sometimes they're out early, a few customers will be disappointed and the shop will make a tiny bit less profit that day, and some other times they produce a bit too much that they won't be able to sell the next day so they'd have to throw it out. I just don't see how it's greenwashing trying to avoid that by finding takers for the extra stuff using this app. If someone eats the food then it's not wasted food.
