Serving up a real impact

8 months since launching, Saveful has helped home cooks use up around 2,500kg of food – diverting it away from home kitchen bins and into hungry tummies at a time when every spare dollar counts, equating to a potential reduction of around 4,750kg of CO2 emissions.

Saveful’s impact is tracked through several metrics and user analytics. Pre-make surveys check in with users to see what ingredients were already on hand, thus measuring food being used up and diverted from waste. Post-make surveys help close the loop for users who choose not to complete the pre-make survey.

Users say Saveful’s flexible meal frameworks are a revelation. Federal and State Governments have supported Saveful, 5 local government areas (that’s 250k homes) are on board. The Saveful School Challenge has been launched to 850 Australian schools.
