The fight against waste involves ethical and sustainable practices. This is why this year too we wanted to give our contribution on the occasion of the 10th Day against food waste.
To date, we have donated over 410 thousand original Roman Pinse to the Banco Alimentare Foundation which deals with the collection of food products and the recovery of surpluses.
AGAINST FOOD WASTE
The Pinsa Di Marco is a totally innovative product artisanal. The process of hand-working the dough by our expert pinsaioli can therefore sometimes determine some small dimensional defects in the product that make it non-standard for the packaging and distribution needs in the various commercial channels.
That's why, through an optical reader, we check every single pinsa. Those “out of proportion”, perfectly good, light and highly digestible like the others, we decided to recover them thanks to the partnership with Banco Alimentare which brings them to the tables of organizations that support the needs of the most fragile people.
"We have always tried to fight waste, we believe it is unacceptable that every year in Italy tons of food that is still perfectly edible are thrown away. This is why we have tried to transform the problem of "oversized" pinse into an opportunity by donating them to Banco Alimentare, with which we have been in partnership for some time. These are delicious products, only rejected by the optical reader because the size does not conform to that required for packaging. We believe that good quality food is a gift to be shared and we are very happy to be able to give concrete help to those most in need through the solidarity chain of Banco Alimentare", commented Alberto Di Marco, General Manager Di Marco.
On the initiative with Banco Alimentare, Radio Cusano Campus interviewed Alberto Di Marco within the radio program Year Zero Society: you can find the full interview at this link.
