We’re partnering with Too Good To Go to reduce food waste on campus
We’re pleased to announce a new partnership with Too Good To Go, a surplus food rescue platform that helps redistribute unsold food and reduce food waste across the Canterbury campus.
Through this partnership, perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste at the end of the day will be made available to students and staff at a reduced price, supporting both affordability and sustainability.
What is Too Good To Go?
Too Good To Go connects food businesses with customers who are happy to purchase surplus food at a lower cost. Food is sold via the Too Good To Go app as a “Surprise Bag” – a discounted selection of food that varies depending on what surplus is available that day.
All food meets the same quality and food safety standards as our regular offering.
How does it work?
Using Too Good To Go is quick and easy:
-
We list surplus food on the Too Good To Go app toward the end of the trading day
-
You purchase a Surprise Bag through the app at a significantly reduced price
-
You collect your bag from the outlet at the till during the specified pickup window
-
Payment is handled through the app at the time of purchase
-
Enjoy your Surprise Bag! Contents vary depending on the surplus available that day.
Where can I use the app?
Too Good To Go is used by food businesses around the world, and we’re excited to bring it to campus. From 16 February 2026, Surprise Bags will be available at:
Availability is limited each day, so we recommend keeping an eye on the app to avoid missing out.
