Food has an expiry date,
our planet shouldn’t.

The food industry is unsustainable in its attitudes towards waste. Karma is changing this whilst helping to turn surplus into a business opportunity.

The $1.2 trillion food waste problem

One third of all food produced is thrown away annually, resulting in 1.3 billion tonnes of waste worldwide. It’s one of the largest climate and economic issues facing our planet creating a massive business opportunity.

 

In fact, if food waste was a country, it would be the 3rd biggest CO2 emission contributing country in the world.

About food waste

The solution

What if we ate the problem? What if we connect surplus food from retailers to consumers for a lower price? As a result, users eat great food for less and businesses receive an additional revenue stream — all while together reducing food waste.

 

The app, Karma, is a food rescue app that allows retailers to sell their surplus food to consumers at a lower price - instead of having great food go to waste.

The solution came to life and Karma was founded and built, a Swedish startup founded in Stockholm, November 2016, by Hjalmar Ståhlberg Nordegren, Elsa Bernadotte, Ludvig Berling and Mattis Larsson.
