NPO日本もったいない食品センター【公式】

The NPO Japan Mottainai Food Center is dedicated to reducing food waste while supporting individuals in need. By acquiring food deemed unsuitable for sale from manufacturers and retailers, the organization repurposes these items through its ecoeat stores, where they are sold at affordable prices. Additionally, they extend food donations to welfare facilities and individuals facing economic hardship.

Their mission combines direct actions for decreasing food waste with educational initiatives aimed at raising awareness about food resource management. They engage in community outreach through lectures and media to promote understanding of food expiration labels and the importance of minimizing waste. Founded in February 2017 and based in Osaka, the Japan Mottainai Food Center sustains its operations through the sales generated at ecoeat and contributions from supportive customers and donors, striving for a self-sufficient model that aligns with their broader goal of sustainable food practices and social assistance.
