Olio, based in London, operates as an environmental services platform that enables sharing between businesses and local communities to curb waste. With a network of trained volunteers, it has rescued more than 125 million meals from over 8,000 locations and facilitated the sharing of more than 15 million household items. For business partners, Olio provides four options aimed at increasing revenue and reducing edible waste, including a live reductions feed for discount items, a 'Lucky Dip' option that lets customers reserve discounted bags via the app and pay in-store, a centralized charity redistribution platform, and a Food Waste Heroes programme coordinating rapid pickup and redistribution. Its customer base spans major retailers and store networks, while the consumer side enables individuals to pass on items such as food, furniture, clothes, and books to neighbors through a straightforward item-posting and pickup flow. Recent developments in 2026 include Lidl GB expanding its partnership with Olio to broaden community food sharing.
