PareUp

PareUp has connects people with restaurants that have food waste to buy it from that at discounted rates. It’s particularly innovative because much of the food waste at stores and restaurants cannot be donated because of food safety regulations. The service is only available in New York City right now, but the team is planning to expand soon.

Foodloop

Foodloop

This startup is located in Germany, and the app is still in development. But the idea is to connect leftover or unwanted food from supermarket to people who want it. You enter a product of choice in the search, and it shows where there is discounted food close to its sell-by date. Or, plug in your grocery of choice and it will alert you when there are foods for sale.
