Around 11 million tons of food waste are produced in Germany every year. This extends along the entire supply chain - from production to the household. In many cases, food is thrown away that could still be consumed without hesitation. By reducing this waste , we protect valuable resources and the climate, as both the production and transportation of food release considerable amounts of greenhouse gases (sourse: BMEL). The club Foodsharing e.V.has been working throughout Germany for years toincrease the value of food and reduce food waste.
In cooperation with the Foodsharing district of Passau, we provide a “Fairteiler” on our campus in the NK copy room R226 (Nikolakloster, Innstraße 40, on the right behind the upper entrance).
This public food exchange shelf offers you the opportunity to share food that is still edible free of charge. The initiative was launched at the Sustainability Round Table in June 2023, initiated by students Deborah Schmiedel and Rebecca Bieling with the support of our Climate Protection Manager Angie Schüppel.
The Fairteiler WhatsApp group provides all updates about the Fairteiler and its stocking.
Would you like to help with the cleaning? Around ten minutes per week is already enough. Get in touch at nachhaltigkeit@uni-passau.de.
The FairTeiler is checked and cleaned daily to ensure compliance with hygiene regulations. Dedicated students and foodshares have taken on this task. The hygiene plan is displayed at the Fairteiler.
Your help is needed to ensure that the Fairteiler runs smoothly and can fulfill its potential. Please adhere to the hygiene rules that are displayed at the Fairteiler and can be found in this brochure.
