Eliminate Food Wastage
A third of food goes to waste. That’s 1.3 billion tons and USD$1 trillion of food every single year. The entrepreneur behind Cup O’ Sugar wanted to change this by making it easy for local communities to cut down on food wastage.

Eliminate Food Wastage
Between 30-40 percent of the food in the USA goes to waste. The US Department of Agriculture has cited this as a key contributor to climate change and increased food scarcity which is why they want to reduce wastage 50% by 2030.
One challenge to overcome is when consumers buy more than they need and discard the extras. This is why Cup O’ Sugar approached Builder: to help eliminate food wastage.
The Cup O’ Sugar app, built for iOS and Android, connects people within their local communities.
Users can either request specific items or share the leftovers they have available and their location. The live chat feature then lets people arrange drop-offs and collections.
The app makes sure no food goes to waste while helping neighbors who need extra ingredients in a pinch.
The platform uses gamification (AKA Sugar Cubes) to incentivise more people to share food. These Sugar Cubes can then be redeemed for dining and travel discounts - helping people to save money by saving the planet.
