Reduza o desperdício alimentar

Ajude a reduzir o desperdício: Compre com consciência e sazonalidade.

Se comprar muito, seguramente vai ter muito para deitar fora. Ou, pensando de outra forma, a redução do desperdício começa no seu carrinho de compras. Não é uma tarefa difícil verificar o que já tem na despensa ou no frigorífico antes de ir às compras. Planeie com antecedência e compre apenas o que precisa - é também uma forma de poupar e tornar a tarefa das compras mais leve.

Planeie as suas compras adequadamente

Todos nós já passamos por isto. Não fazemos lista, temos pouco tempo e corremos para o supermercado. Colocamos no carrinho tudo o que nos lembramos e nos chama à atenção. Frequentemente levamos para casa mais comida para além da que precisamos.

Para evitar comprar o que realmente não precisa, e resistir à tentação de fazer compras por impulso, gaste 5 minutos a fazer uma lista em casa e ganhe tempo e dinheiro na hora de comprar. Desta forma, todos nós podemos reduzir o desperdício alimentar e aumentar o nosso saldo bancário ao mesmo tempo.

Dicas para compras mais sustentáveis

As frutas e vegetais que escolhe, a opção por enlatados ou congelados, a escolha do tipo de carne - tudo isto tem impacto sobre o meio ambiente. Reunimos algumas dicas para ajudar a comprar de forma mais sustentável e consciente.

Verifique o que tem em casa

Quais são os ingredientes essenciais na sua cozinha?

A verificação da despensa e do frigorífico facilita a preparação da sua lista de compras. O que ainda tem, o que está em falta e o que vai acabar em breve? É simples e ajuda a ter uma visão geral daquilo que realmente precisa comprar. Além dos frescos, haverá seguramente mais alguns itens que consome regularmente. Pode ajudar manter uma lista de produtos e ingredientes que gosta e consome com frequência, esses nunca podem faltar.

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.

Shrink your environmental footprint

Prioritise seasonal, regional produce

Who doesn’t love some out-of-season fruit over the winter? Although it’s a nice change, it is not the best choice for your environmental footprint, so it does make sense to prioritise seasonal produce whenever possible. Buy seasonal fruit and vegetables and keep an eye on where it comes from. Food grown and produced locally will have been transported less. This also means lower CO2 emissions. Food produced locally also uses less packaging and consumes far less energy for storage purposes, which underscores the importance of buying seasonal, regional food.

Other aspects to keep in mind when shopping for groceries

Buy fresh produce, ideally organic products or products with an environmental sticker or label. Mass-produced food products contain lots of additives and it is often difficult to identify where their ingredients came from.
If possible, buy unpackaged fruit and vegetables; not only does this avoid waste, it also means you can buy exactly the quantity you need. Local weekly markets are usually particularly good for this.
When shopping, avoid using plastic bags and instead bring your own carrier bags, jute bags, reusable fruit and vegetable nets and foldable crates.
