Save from waste - products cheaper up to 90% available at Carrefour

Research shows that every single month a statistical Pole loses PLN 50 due to unused food, which goes to the trash, and Poland takes the shameful 5th place in terms of food waste among all European countries.

Carrefour, noting that this problem continues to get worse, both nationally and globally, makes it possible to purchase products with a short expiry date at a price several times lower than the regular price. Thus, it not only prevents food waste, but also allows its customers additional savings when doing their everyday shopping.

Being aware that food waste is one of the biggest problems of modern civilization, Carrefour also carried out a 2-week campaign under the slogan "We can buy wisely - How not to waste food", in which all Carrefour hyper- and supermarkets. The initiative took place between November 16 and December 1, 2020. Dedicated information materials were placed in the stores, and in addition, at carrefour.pl/lp-jak-nie-marnowac-aktywnosci. People could find there practical tips on how to store food products to keep them fresh. This campaign was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Act on Counteracting Food Waste (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 1680), and its partners were, among others, Caritas Polska and the Foundation "Pomoc Transportowcom".
