At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

Planet Organic ‘achieves zero edible food waste’ with Olio

Planet Organic has claimed a UK retailer first in achieving zero edible food waste through a partnership with food-sharing app Olio.

The organic food retailer linked up with Olio in November 2017 in a bid to cut surplus food waste from its seven-strong store estate. It has since redistributed more than 55,188 portions of food, including over 11 tonnes in 2018 alone. 

It has also become part of Olio’s ‘food waste heroes’ programme, whereby local volunteers collect unsold food from its stores and add the items to the app for nearby members to request and pick up. Olio’s 3,000 food safety-trained volunteers have collected and redistributed more than 652,000 portions of food since the programme began in 2016. The app allows businesses or individuals to upload details and photography of their surplus food, before customers place an order for the free food before collecting it at a specified time, arranged via private messaging. 

Olio Co-founder Saasha Celestial-One also praised Planet Organic’s commitment to minimising its impact on the environment. “We couldn’t be happier to work with them to help them achieve their goal of zero edible store waste, and are proud to consider them a flagship partner in the fight against food waste and hunger,” she said.
