The free app allows users to purchase surplus food, cheaply, from local eateries, shops, and cafes near you.

Co-founder Jamie Crummie, says it's hit a major milestone in the fight against food waste.

However, food waste continues to be a major problem in Ireland.

With households wasting on average 750,000 tonnes of food each year.

A report from MyWaste.ie has found food waste that ends up in landfill is a significant contributor to climate change.

Agriland reports that two thirds of households and businesses in Ireland have a brown bin for food waste.

Nevertheless, a high proportion of waste is still finding its way into the standard waste bin.
