The project launched a year ago with a single fridge outside a community centre. The first fridge helped save around three metric tonnes of food from going to waste last year.<\/p>\n<p>Geneva now has four fridges, strategically placed around town, with a fifth one planned before the end of the year. Run by nonprofit Free-Go &#8211; whose name riffs off the word &#8216;frigo&#8217;, a colloquial French term for refrigerator &#8211; the programme costs about \u20ac36,500 to run each year. It is funded by charity groups and the city government. The street-side refrigerators and pantry shelves can be freely accessed by the public. Restaurateurs, at-home cooks and others can drop off unused food that&#8217;s close to its use-by date, such as fruit, vegetables, bread, croissants and other perishables. Passersby can then grab items to take home for free.<\/p>\n<p>For health and regulatory reasons, no frozen foods, open food containers, prepared meals or alcohol are allowed in the fridges. Free-Go says contributors of food from the private sector &#8211; such as restaurants or food vendors &#8211; must make a commitment to ensure the donated food is safe to eat. Swiss law says unopened items like canned food and crackers past the \u201crecommended use-by date\u201d can be consumed for up to a year afterwards, according to Delevaux.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/08\/01\/free-food-genevas-community-pantries-use-the-sharing-economy-to-prevent-food-waste\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-372\/\">Free food: Geneva\u2019s community pantries use the sharing economy to prevent food waste<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1589,10910],"class_list":["post-115836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-waste","tag-geneva"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115836\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
