Food & GardenKielRescue food and cook with what you haveSmarter shopping: less waste Kiel treats edible food as too valuable for the bin. The city supports fair sharing, better storage habits, and partnerships that keep surplus from shops, canteens, and cruise terminals reaching neighbours instead of incinerators. What you can do - Plan meals with a shopping list or weekly menu; buy soft fruit and veg only a day or two before use. - Store items in the right fridge zone; use senses before best-before dates; freeze leftovers in portions. - Join Foodsharing Kiel e.V. (about 650 volunteers and 93 partner businesses); try the interactive Zero Waste fridge at the Nachhaltigkeitszentrum. - Put cooked and uncooked food scraps in the Biotonne, never down the drain or in residual waste. Why it matters Kiel was named a Foodsharing Stadt in November 2024. A late-2024 cruise-ship pilot with Seehafen Kiel and Tafel Kiel redirected more than 700 kg of bread, fruit, and vegetables across six landings.
