Starnberg is looking for the oldest conservation: Take part and win!

Starnberg, Deutschland - In the district of Starnberg it will be exciting! The municipal waste management company Awista Starnberg has launched an exciting challenge: the search for the oldest canned bar in the pantry! As part of the European Week of Waste Avoidance, Awista calls on the citizens to find their oldest foods with the best before date (MHD) and to send a photo of it. If you discover the oldest copy, you can look forward to an attractive price!

Every year in Germany, terrifying eleven million tons of food end up in the trash - this corresponds to the weight of over 20,000 seagoing ships! With this campaign, Awista Starnberg would like to draw attention to the immense waste of food and encourage people to deal with food more consciously. "We waste a lot of resources in the form of partly elaborately produced food and thus also money," explains the company. Participation is simple: a photo of the food on which the MHD is easy to read can be sent to gewinkspiel@awista-starnberg.de by November 30th.

actions for avoiding waste

The European Week of Waste Avoidance takes place from November 16 to 24 and offers numerous creative actions that draw attention to the problem of food waste. In addition to the search for the oldest conservation, interested citizens also have the opportunity to visit the waste recycling system in Augsburg. This information trip takes place on November 19 and offers a look behind the scenes of waste disposal.

"It would help a lot if we think before or at the latest when shopping whether we really need a food and also consume in time," emphasizes Christoph Wufka, board member of the Awista Starnberg KU. The campaign should not only be fun, but also contribute to the appreciation of food and motivate citizens to throw away less food. All information about the campaign and waste recycling can be found on the Awista Starnberg website.
