Food waste: What are the causes and how can we eliminate it?

At Braun we believe that good design can improve lives. That's why we follow three principles: Good design should be simple, useful and built to last. With our sustainable design and durable domestic products, we are particularly concerned about the issue of food waste. Why? Because it's an issue that affects us all. And because, by working together, we have the ability to make a difference. Of course, we shouldn’t expect to solve everything at once. Instead, when it comes to preventing food waste, every step counts. No matter how small.

It’s not hard to check what you already have in the cupboard and fridge, plan ahead and buy only what you need – and it also makes your weekly shop much easier.

Čerstvější a chutnější po delší dobu. Jak skladovat potraviny.

Poté, co jste si naplánovali nákupy, věnujte čas správnému skladování potravin. Je to rozhodující pro zajištění jejich čerstvosti. Roztřídění nákupu po příchodu domů vám pomůže udržet ovoce a zeleninu, mléčné výrobky, chléb, těstoviny a maso déle čerstvé. Některé potraviny je třeba chladit, jiné stačí uchovávat při pokojové teplotě. Připravili jsme pro vás několik tipů, kdy a jak můžete potraviny skladovat, aby vše zůstalo co nejdéle čerstvé.

Zero waste alias nulový odpad - uchovávání čerstvých potravin a kreativní využití zbytků.

Každý den končí v koši obrovské množství potravin. Plánování nákupu potravin, jejich správné skladování a uvědomělejší přístup k tomu, co jíte, mohou pomoci omezit plýtvání potravinami.

Meal prep saves time, effort and waste.

If you only eat small portions and don’t like spending time in the kitchen if you can avoid it, you can turn this to your advantage. Simply pick a time to cook a larger amount and store individual portions in the fridge or freezer. This works particularly well with soups, sauces and dishes like ratatouille, for example. Once a common practice known as pre-cooking, it now carries the trendier name “meal prep”. This new old trend offers a host of advantages, allowing you to use produce while it’s still fresh from the market and store it until you want to eat it.

Imperfect food.

Fruit and vegetables that have been discarded, simply because they don’t look perfect, account for a serious share of the global food waste problem. Most of the time, misshaped produce is already separated out during the harvest and doesn’t even make it to the market, only because it does not meet our aesthetic expectations.Too bent, too straight, too knobbly, too smooth – there are numerous reasons why so many perfectly edible apples, carrots and the like end up in the bin. However, these less attractive products taste just as delicious.
