🇨🇭 Circunis to launch Swiss B2B Marketplace for Food Surplus in 2024. Funded by Migros Pioneer Fund, Circunis aims to reduce food waste and advance circular economy, connecting producers and traders to tackle Switzerland's waste challenge.
Globally, 40% of all food is overproduced and wasted. Switzerland targets to halve its share by 2030. Circunis, initiated by Mehr als Zwei association, offers a crucial platform to facilitate the trading of surplus food, addressing a vital need in waste reduction.
Circunis simplifies the trade of surplus food, enabling producers to list and negotiate with buyers directly. It acts as a bridge, connecting various market players, and plays a pivotal role in establishing a circular economy in Switzerland.
The principle of Circunis is direct and effective. It allows for visibility and negotiation of food surpluses between producers, caterers, wholesalers, and other industry players, fostering a collaborative environment for resource management.
The Migros Pioneer Fund's backing was crucial in successfully completing Circunis's prototype phase and will enable its nationwide launch. This partnership aims to bring the economy closer to net zero and promote responsible resource use.
Set to launch in spring 2024, Circunis invites stakeholders to subscribe for updates or actively participate in shaping the platform. This marks a significant step towards a sustainable approach in food distribution and waste management.
