What Is a Green Startup?

Green Startups

Starting a business, making money, and saving the planet at the same time? All these sounds great together and this is what green startups intend to do. They are making the most significant impact for the environment, giving their customers a change to fight for a better world and have a true passion for social responsibility. This may sound unbelievable, but these businesses are making money at the same time! ?

Nowadays, as more consumers are interested in making green choices in their purchases and interiorize these choices as their lifestyles, the impact of green startups increase.

Too Good To Go

One very successful example of these green businesses is Too Good To Go (TGTG) which aims to fight food waste globally. According to their website, each year, 1/3 of food produced in the world goes to waste, and it is responsible for 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions. TGTG allows its customers to save perfectly good, surplus food from their local stores (otherwise would end up in trash at the end of the day). While what customers get is always a surprise, it is always in good condition at a great price.?

  1. Demet, this is a great App; thank you for introducing us! Not an App, but I’ve heard about Eaternity, a Swiss startup providing solutions to the food industry regarding the environmental footprint of food products. I wish we could see such green and responsible businesses more often!

    1. Thank you Begüm, glad that you found it useful! I have not heard about Eaternity, will check immediately. I wish too!

  2. Hey Demet, thanks for introducing this app to us. I can get unsold food at a better rate now! 🙂
