Fighting food waste
Poste Italiane collaborates with the Too Good to Go app in the Vidigulfo Logistics Centre (Pavia)
In 2023, the Too Good to Go app selected the Vidigulfo Logistics Centre of the Italian Postal Service’s courier company, SDA, to manage and prepare its new pantry boxes.
In compliance with the most modern environmental standards, the Logistics Centre in Vidigulfo, in the province of Pavia, is the place from where the app’s pantry boxes leave to reach the homes of Italians. The pantry boxes are, in fact, purchased on the Too Good to Go app and then sent directly to the Centre’s warehouse. Subsequently, the products are taken from the shelves and placed in the pantry boxes, which are delivered to the end consumers via the express courier service ‘Poste Delivery Business’.
In the Logistics Centre itself there is a large product processing area, exclusively dedicated to Too Good to Go, which guarantees the safety of food products throughout the supply chain, with an average of around 1,000 pantry boxes handled every day, which are transferred to the new, highly automated hub in Landriano, where they are delivered nationwide in just 24 hours.
The Vidigulfo logistics hub
As of April 2023, the new Logistics Centre in Vidigulfo (Pavia) will be in operation. With an area of 62,000 square metres and 74,000 pallet spaces, it is the largest of Poste Italiane’s warehousing facilities. The site handles the order of an important customer who has entrusted the Group with the entire activity of storage, order picking and distribution of its products for its shops located in Central-Northern Italy.
Too Good to Go
Founded in Denmark in 2015, today Too Good to Go is the leading anti-waste app in Europe, which in early 2020 also started expansion into the United States. More specifically, Too Good To Go is the innovative service through which it is possible to order unsold food that is still fresh and of high quality from affiliated shops and restaurants, allowing everyone to make a concrete contribution to the fight against food waste.
The Poste Italiane Group’s unique assets for the development of Integrated Logistics Projects, managed by the dedicated team, confirm the Group’s willingness to increasingly support the fight against food waste.
