The milestone has helped avoid an estimated 337,500kg of CO2e emissions, equivalent to 2,365 flights from Dublin to London.
Irish consumers have saved more than 125,000 Surprise Bags from cult burrito chain Boojum using the surplus food app Too Good To Go. By preventing these meals from going to waste, Boojum and Too Good To Go have collectively helped to avoid the equivalent of 337,500kg in CO2e emissions. This is equal to 2,365 flights from Dublin to London.
Ongoing partnership across 12 Irish and 6 UK stores
This achievement demonstrates the success of Boojum’s ongoing partnership with Too Good To Go, which forms a core part of its sustainability focus and commitment to making every meal count. Through the partnership, Irish and UK consumers can secure Boojum’s great food at a tasty discount, simply by using the Too Good To Go app. Hitting the milestone of saving 125,000 meals from going to waste is a figure that shows just how much these individual actions can add up over time.
Since the partnership launched in 2023, users have been able to rescue surplus food from more than 18 Boojum stores across Ireland and the UK. Too Good To Go users can expect to find a variety of items such as Boojum’s famous burritos, tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, and signature salads in each Surprise Bag rescued from participating locations.
Machaela O’Leary, Key Accounts Manager at Too Good To Go, said:
“The demand for Boojum on the app has been incredible. Reaching a milestone like this shows just how much Irish consumers care about reducing food waste, and how much they love getting a great deal. This is exactly what Too Good To Go offers, and there is plenty more to come. Saving food and saving money is a no-brainer.”
Robert Powell, Head of Operations at Boojum, said:
“Our partnership with Too Good To Go has been a phenomenal success since launching in 2023. The platform allows us to efficiently minimise our food waste, helping us to deliver on our wider sustainability objectives, whilst at the same time introducing Boojum to hundreds of new customers a week, a win win!”
