What is this project all about?
To take concrete steps so that the issue of food waste, or rather food appreciation, gets on the political agenda, but is also taken seriously by the business community and, of course, by private households.
After two successful Startnext campaigns in 2017 and 2019, in which thousands of people have already supported us, we would now like to draw even more attention to the topic and the solution of SIRPLUS with the third campaign: Simply save food, save mon… Show more
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
Through our online store with hundreds of products and various cooking boxes, we make food rescue easy for everyone in Germany. We offer an average price saving of 30-40%.

Why would you support this project?
Food waste concerns us all! Private households are responsible for half of the world's food waste, which means that a total of ⅓ of global agricultural land and numerous other resources are wasted - enough to feed all the world's hungry people three times over.
Plus, you'll receive a variety of thank-you gifts for your support. So you're doing something good and saving money at the same time.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
With your contribution to our 3rd crowdfunding campaign you support our educational work and political engagement. In concrete terms, this means that we will introduce legislation against food waste and for food appreciation and inform even more people about the issue. Only if politics, business and private individuals work together is the German government's goal of reducing food waste by 50% by 2030 possible.
Who are the people behind the project?
In the meantime, we at SIRPLUS are an ingenious team of 50 passionate food rescuers, almost 70,000 customers and hundreds of partner companies with whom we save food together. We also have celebrity supporters like Esther Schweins and Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht.
Now only you are missing! We are looking forward to making a big difference together with you, so that we can get closer to our vision - a world in which no food is wasted and thus all people have enoug… Show more

Why does this project contribute to this goal?
SIRPLUS brings surplus food back into the value chain and thus actively participates in halving food waste by 2030. In addition, together with Welthungerhilfe, SIRPLUS enables a school meal for children in Burundi with every order in our online store.
This project also pays toward those goals
