Evita que los alimentos acaben en la basura: compra de forma sensata y de temporada.

Less food waste

Stop food ending up in the bin: Shop sensibly and seasonally.

Si compras demasiado, tirarás mucho. Dicho de otro modo, la reducción del desperdicio de alimentos empieza en el carrito del supermercado. No es difícil comprobar lo que ya tienes en la despensa y el frigorífico, planifica con antelación y compra solo lo que necesitas. Así, te resultará mucho más fácil hacer la compra semanal.

Planifica tu compra

A todos nos ha pasado. No has hecho una lista, tienes poco tiempo y entras corriendo en el supermercado. Metes en el carrito todo lo que te llama la atención, lo que te apetece en ese momento. Muy pronto, te llevas a casa más comida de la que puedes comer. Para evitar comprar cosas que en realidad no necesitas y resistir la tentación de hacer compras espontáneas, escribe una lista en casa para mantenerte organizado al hacer la compra. De esta manera, todos podemos reducir la comida que desperdiciamos y ahorrar al mismo tiempo.

Consejos para una compra más sostenible

Hemos preparado algunos consejos para ayudarte a comprar de forma más sostenible y consciente.

Check your stocks

What are your essentials in the kitchen?

Checking your cupboards and fridge on a daily basis makes it easier to plan your shopping. What do you have in, what items are missing and what do you need to use soon? This helps you to maintain an overview of what you need on your shopping list. In addition to fresh produce, there will be some items you use regularly. It can help to keep a list of the products and ingredients you like to keep in your cupboard, fridge and freezer so that you always have them to hand.

Make a plan for the week

Know exactly what needs to be on the list

A weekly plan is a dependable companion. What have you got on? Will you have any visitors? Which days will you need a snack for on-the-go? Think about what you might eat in the next few days and write a shopping list based on the ingredients you’ll need. This way, you know just what you need to buy and how much. And, so that you don’t end up buying more than originally planned, don’t go shopping on an empty stomach.

Keep things in proportion

Buy food according to your needs

Ideally, you try to buy perishable foods like fish and meat only when you know you will eat them soon. By contrast, fruit and vegetables will last longer when stored correctly and so can be purchased in advance. Tip: Don’t be afraid to buy fruit and vegetables with imperfections. It’s easy to remove them – and your apple will still taste every bit as good as its undamaged counterparts. Unfortunately, some retailers often end up throwing away goods with visible imperfections.

Keep calm and shop on

Take your time and pay attention to unit sizes

Special offers, free samples and full shelves – the wide variety of food on offer is enticing, especially if you go to the supermarket when hungry or in a hurry. Give yourself enough time to make a plan and go shopping so you can compare prices and quality in peace. Just a little hint: Cut-price bulk products can seem attractive, but only as long as they are not going to waste. Take your time when shopping and think about what you really need.

Choose products consciously

How our buying behaviour can reduce retail waste

As consumers, we can help to reduce the volume of retail waste. Fruit and vegetables with small imperfections are often discarded, and the same goes for other products. You don’t need to find dairy products with a best-before date in two weeks’ time if you plan to consume them quickly. Bread purchased yesterday will still taste good in two days’ time. What’s more, these tips can save you money. Some stores reduce the price of goods approaching their best-before date.

Reduce tu huella medioambiental

Prioriza los productos de proximidad y de temporada

¿A quién no le gusta un poco de fruta de fuera de temporada durante el invierno? Aunque es un buen cambio, no es la mejor opción para minimizar el impacto medioambiental, así que tiene sentido dar prioridad a los productos de temporada siempre que sea posible. Compra fruta y verdura de temporada y vigila su procedencia. Los alimentos cultivados y producidos localmente se habrán transportado menos. Esto también significa menos emisiones de CO2. Los alimentos de proximidad también utilizan menos envases y consumen mucha menos energía para su almacenamiento, lo que subraya la importancia de comprar alimentos de temporada y de proximidad.

Otros aspectos a tener en cuenta a la hora de realizar la compra

Compra productos frescos, idealmente productos ecológicos o con una etiqueta o pegatina medioambiental. Los productos alimenticios producidos en masa contienen muchos aditivos y a menudo es difícil identificar la procedencia de sus ingredientes.
Si es posible, compra fruta y verdura sin envasar; así no sólo se evita el despilfarro, sino que puedes comprar exactamente la cantidad que necesitas. Los mercados de abasto locales suelen ser especialmente indicados para esto.
Cuando hagas la compra, evita utilizar bolsas de plástico y lleva en su lugar tus propias bolsas, bolsas de yute, redes reutilizables para frutas y verduras y cajas plegables.
