A visit to Amsterdam last week resulted in a great deal of inspiration in terms of social innovation and responsible business. One of the highlights was dinner at Instock restaurant where they create dishes using food that would otherwise go to waste.
Products are collected at supermarkets each morning – picked up by their electric car – and the chefs then create meals out of the ‘harvest of the day’. This can be imperfect fruit and vegetables or one-day-old bread or other products that can’t be sold in store but is still good enough to eat. An excellent concept and the food was great.
With food waste being such a major issue across the world it’s great to see innovative solutions that are sustainable. Instock is also a good example of a stylish restaurant that shows you can be both classy and eco-friendly.
