( MENAFN - Soul Communications) Deliveroo UAE has collaborated with the UAE Food Bank to launch 'Collecteroo', a first of its kind initiative designed to enhance food security and reduce food waste across the UAE. As part of Deliveroo's ongoing Full Life campaign, which was introduced in the UAE in August 2022, this initiative will facilitate the collection and redistribution of surplus food to communities in need through the UAE Food Bank. The 'Collecteroo' initiative will see a dedicated van collect surplus food from supermarkets, trading companies, hotels, and restaurants. With nearly 500 tons of food collected every month, the Collecteroo van is set to become an essential part of the UAE's efforts to combat food waste while ensuring that excess food benefits those who need it most.
