Company mission
To save the good products so that everyone can (finally) benefit from them!
Our take
Food waste is a major global problem. Supermarkets often reject perfectly good products due to cosmetic imperfections or logistical limitations. This not only hurts farmers' profits but also contributes significantly to environmental waste.
Bene Bono steps in to address these issues, partnering with French farmers and manufacturers to rescue products rejected by traditional distributors. These "saved" products are then offered to consumers at a discounted price. This not only benefits consumers, but also creates a new revenue stream for producers who might otherwise have discarded their products.
A recent capital injection will allow Bene Bono to expand its operations in several key ways. The company plans to broaden its product range, develop a private label line, and expand geographically within France and Spain. The funding will also support efforts to reduce its environmental footprint through initiatives like reusable packaging and electric vehicles.
