Melting Pot is a community fighting food waste in Switzerland. Among other activities, we publish a regular newsletter that provides insightful information, personal stories and shared inspiration around food-saving. Join us now to enter a community of people passionate about sustainability and food saving.
Roadmap
November 2024 – Climathon Zürich
How can culture and art inspire for climate action? This question leads to the idea of the Melting Pot during Climathon 2024. Our pitch receives 5k in prize money to make our idea a reality.
April 2025 – Our first Event
We use the opportunity of Earth Day 2025 to host a food waste apéro at Impact Hub Zürich. The event helps us to start conversations with potential partners and people interested in connecting around rescued food.
Spring 2025
We were part of this year's Circular Economy Incubator. The programme helped us to refine our idea and find the right partners.
2 June 2025 – Demo Day
On 2 June the Circular Economy Incubator ended with a big Demo Day at Kraftwerk Zürich where we presented Melting Pot to a big audience of circular economy enthusiasts.
Currently
We recently published our first newsletter to start building an impactful community of food saving enthusiasts.
”The most vital attribute of food is its placement precisely on the border between the world of nature and the world of culture.”
