Fill out a 30-second survey and help fight food waste in Bloomsbury org/clubs-societies/enactus-ucl-society" target="_self">Enactus UCL society, is working on a social enterprise project called RepEAT and they need your help. The primary aim of the project is to reduce food waste in cafes and restaurants in Bloomsbury and make student lunches cheaper.

Why?

Getting a proper lunch meal or even snacks is expensive in the area around UCL. 

How? 

We plan to collect surplus food (food made from leftover ingredients from restaurants which would otherwise be thrown away) from restaurants and cafes within and near Bloomsbury, repackage it into fulfilling food boxes and then sell it to UCL students. Cold lunch boxes will cost: £1.50 and a hot lunch box will cost £2.

When?

RepEAT is due to launch in March 2017 so we want to conduct market research to see if this appeals to you. The survey takes 30 seconds to complete and we would love to hear your feeback.

For more information please email repeat@enactusucl.org or contact us via Facebook.
