A consequence of this can mean we, unfortunately, produce some food waste and we wanted to tackle this problem.<br \/>We started working with Too Good To Go back in 2018 in the aim of selling the products which were not sold in the initial 30 minutes at a reduced price to consumers via the Too Good To Go App.<\/p>\n<p>Too Good To Go lets customers fight food waste by rescuing surprise Magic Bags of unsold food from shops and restaurants. So far, they\u2019ve saved more than 60 million Magic Bags from going to waste &#8211; 3.5 million of these in the UK alone.<\/p>\n<p>At Auntie Anne\u2019s we have saved over 46,000 meals since the start of our partnership! This has saved 115,588kg of CO2e or equivalent energy to 14,741,194 smartphones being charged in saved waste food.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/toogoodtogo.org&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Find out More&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.auntieannes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/TGTG_Logo_2000x2000_RGB_Rastered.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;TGTG_Logo_2000x2000_RGB_Rastered&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;81%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; prev_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.auntieannes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Recycled-card-background-50-1.jpg&#8221; background_blend=&#8221;multiply&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-10px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;99px||74px|||&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;wave&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||3px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Packaging &amp; Sustainability<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; width=&#8221;69%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||32px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>At Auntie Anne\u2019s we are keen to work on ways to improve our sustainability and impact on the environment:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.61)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|30px|30px|30px|30px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#1B5196&#8243; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Packaging&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.auntieannes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Packaging-Icon.png&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;57%&#8221; image_icon_width_tablet=&#8221;57%&#8221; image_icon_width_phone=&#8221;57%&#8221; image_icon_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; image_max_width=&#8221;57%&#8221; image_max_width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; image_max_width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; image_max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>We already try and avoid plastic packaging where possible and instead use paper bags and sleeves for our pretzels.
