What is this project all about?

SirPlus, in cooperation with major players in the food industry, will save large quantities of surplus, non-standard, and expired food from farmers, producers, logistics companies, wholesalers, and retailers and bring them back into the food cycle responsibly. The food is sold by SirPlus at discounts of up to 70% of the original price. Retail customers and companies can buy the salvaged and perfectly edible goods directly at the SirPlus Shop in Berlin - thShow more

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

The goal of SirPlus is to massively curb the waste of food by revolutionizing the food industry and making food saving more professional and mainstream.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

Thanks to your contribution, we can set up and operate the first food outlet shop in Berlin (rental, inventory, checkout system, delivery service, etc.). To do this, we need to enlarge our team, rent one or two refrigerated vehicles, and set up a warehouse for saved food. In other words, your help will allow us to put the SirPlus 'system' into action and then scale it.

If we are able to significantly exceed the funding goal, we can start programming the plaShow more

Who are the people behind the project?

The SirPlus Founding Team consists of three Musketeers and many people who have supported us over the past months. The initiator is Raphael Fellmer, who has crusaded against the waste of food since 2009 and is best known from his 5-year money strike where he refused to use money. Already with his 2012 food saving movement (today known as "foodsharing"), he has been able to inspire more than 26,000 food savers who have helped to bring awareness to this issuShow more
