Welcome to Surplus to Purpose
Our mission is simple: to feed bellies, not bins.
By reclaiming surplus food and providing it to our community, we aim to reduce food waste and create a sustainable, food-secure future.
Our Impact
Learn more-
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Each year, by redistributing 1,000 tons of surplus food, we prevent approximately 2,500 tons of CO₂e from entering the atmosphere. That’s the same as taking around 540 cars off the road for an entire year.
-
Saving Water
Our food rescue efforts save an estimated 1.8 billion litres of water annually — the equivalent of filling 720 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This highlights the hidden environmental cost of food waste.
-
Protecting Land Resources
Through effective redistribution, we help ensure that 100–150 hectares of agricultural land are used more efficiently — equivalent to nearly 200 football fields being put to good use instead of going to waste.
-
Diverting Waste from Landfill
We successfully divert 1,000 tons of food waste from landfill every year, saving approximately 100–150 cubic metres of landfill space and reducing the strain on already limited waste infrastructure.
