40% of the food in the Netherlands disappears into the trash of consumers, supermarkets and producers. DAMn Food Waste wants to bring the food waste to the attention. On June 29 in the heart of Amsterdam they organize a free lunch for 5,000 people, made of food that would have ended up in the trash. However, they need 5,000 registrations on Facebook to organize this lunch. Previous actions against food waste were organized in London en Sweden.
Grippy’s are designed napkins to ensure that you don’t get dirty or greasy fingers when eating finger food. Because of the shape of the Grippy’s, the guest will always grab one napkin form the pile and can easily pick a small snack. Through the small size, the Grippy’s can be served on the serving dish. The napkins are hygienic and its small size reduces waste. The Grippy’s are developed by EF-FIS.
Cool green events will introduce the old hot dog, but with new tricks. The hot dog will be made of honest meat with a transparant background, multigrain bread, topped with beetroot and parsnips (depending on season) and artisanal sauces. The organic hot dog is made of biological ingredients and fits the current trends like healthy, pure and sustainable food. The organic hot dog will be served this summer by the ‘Cool green house’ (kind of a food truck without wheels) and be available on events and festivals. Maybe they can serve this organic hot dog at the new ‘healthy’ hot dog restaurant of Jamie Oliver?

The (cold) weather in the Netherlands is currently a ‘hot’ topic. The Douwe Egberts coffee café responds to that in a great way. Every week they give coffee advice based on the weather. For example with cold weather they advise a choc-au-lait or when the sun shines an Ice-Cappuccino. The drinks are bit easy chosen but a nice idea.
The company ‘Varkensroosteren’ (pig roasting) was founded by two Dutch entrepreneurs Roel van Vliet and Baaf Spark. ‘Varkensroosteren’ uses pigs that are sustainable bred by the retail/farm the Lindenhoff, the black ‘Baambrugse pigs’. They roasts their pigs from head to tail over a burning wood fire for hours. ‘Slow food’, at this authentic way the meat remains juicy. The company serves the meat in sandwiches with home made sauce. Nice to serve at festivals….

We think that the previously spotted ‘bike sauna‘ would have fitted in…
