Squatters in London often go through the bins outside supermarkets at night and find the food that has been binned due to it reaching its sell by date.
A scottish entrepreneur is hoping to solve this problem by making a Website 'to end supermarket waste' by selling food destined for the bin. Leading supermarkets will sell him the food which is nearly out of date and allow him to sell it.
This still leaves a massive problem for me... so much fresh food i.e bread has such a short shelf life shorly all of this correspondence would take to much time in delivery of products etc.
Some supermarkets in Amsterdam have set up a scheme donating the food which is going out of date to homeless shelters - massively beneficial to all parties involved.
