Sustainable indulgence in Berlin: We are opening our first deli with dishes made from surplus food. The Deli by SPRK is part of the concept to redistribute and process surplus food in order to protect resources and the climate. The goal is for Germany’s capital to become free of food surplus within four years.
Together with LHIND Lufthansa Industry Solutions we are working on the digital platform to better distribute food surplus from the supply chain and conserve resources.
Leading catering provider Eurest Deutschland (Compass Group) cooperates with us at SPRK.global. Thus Eurest provides their company catering facilities with sustainable fruit products.
Tons of perfectly edible surplus food from the supply chain are distributed to people in the Ukraine that are in desperate need of support. Our collaboration with the German Food Bridge (a project of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture – BMEL) is exemplary for a needs-oriented approach for a meaningful redistribution of surplus food.
