If you are concerned about the environment and you wish to
take more steps to help protect it, you will be pleased to learn about the
recipe boxes from Gousto. Studies
have revealed that they do less harm to our surroundings.
Findings from the environmental company Foodsteps showed that they release 23% less carbon emissions than
equivalent meals from supermarket stores. Thanks to a short supply chain and
reduced food waste, each Gousto order is able to save up to 7kg of carbon
dioxide emissions. In 2020, in the year which the firm made its maximum number
of sales, it could save 40,000 tonnes of CO2e. This is the equivalent of
removing 4,905 cars from the road for a year.
Moreover, another study by Informed Sustainability
Consulting revealed that every Gousto order saves an average of 2kg of food
waste. As such, last year, the UK was able to save 784,000 bins of waste just
via the recipe boxes. This is because the firm send fresh and precise
ingredients for dinners weekly. As such, there is almost zero food waste
in homes and fulfilment centres as well.
Moreover, Gousto has recently collaborated
with FareShare to ensure that surplus food that safe for consumption is
distributed among people in need.
