An app concept that helps people save fruit and vegetables from going to waste, using gamification to turn them into climate heroes.

Reducing waste, by saving fruit

What started with the sentence “Oh no, my bananas are going bad again, what should I do with them?” turned into an app where we can save fruit and vegetables going bad, inspire users to cook something delicious (like banana bread with my bad bananas) and become a climate hero!

The app

GoBananas is an app inspired by Karma, Too Good To Go and Duolingo. In the app you can find grocery stores around your area selling their fruit and vegetable produce going bad, for a cheaper price. This way we reduce waste, and the user can enjoy food at a low price while also feeling like a climate hero.

Gamification

By using a friendly tone and gamification with a point system, awards, proof points and a leaderboard, we encourage users to keep saving food! The app also includes a section where the user can find recipes for the produce they bought, or already have, that is going bad. Together we can reduce food waste, inspire others and become climate heroes!
