SIRPLUS wins the federal prize "Too Good for the Bin 2018" for its commitment to combating food waste
The "Too Good for the Bin" initiative, which combats food waste, has been active since 2012. Founded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the project has also awarded the "Too Good for the Bin" Federal Prize since 2016. Incidentally, this isn't the first award that co-founder and managing director Raphael Fellmer has received for his commitment to appreciating food. Back in 2016, he won the prize in the "Education" category for the Foodsharing initiative. foodsharing.de is an online platform for distributing surplus food.
Thank you so much for your continued support of our mission!

Climate-KIC Accelerator (2017)
The idea of reducing food waste was there, and at the beginning of the year we were looking for an environment in which our business idea could mature. We saw this opportunity at Climate-KIC Accelerator and applied for the biannual pitch for green startups – and we succeeded! Since April, our office has been located on the EUREF Campus, and in September 2017 we were even able to impress them a second time and secure Climate-KIC's support for another six months.
