Jacob’s, a savory biscuit brand based in the UK, has partnered with FareShare, a wide reaching charity organization, to tackle food waste. To kick off their partnership and raise awareness about food waste and opportunities for consumers to make a difference, they created a giant model fridge filled with models of the most commonly wasted food items, from milk and bread to potatoes, bananas and salad. On the day the model was unveiled, Jacob’s also reportedly handed out recipes that highlight how Jacob’s products can be used with some of the most commonly wasted foods to further support consumer action against food waste.
