Olio • Share More, Waste Less

Olio is a mobile application and environmental services company based in London, UK, founded in 2015.

Its mission is to reduce waste by connecting neighbors, volunteers, and businesses to share surplus food and household items for free. The platform has grown significantly, boasting over 8.5 million users across more than 60 countries by 2025. Olio operates as a neighbor-to-neighbor sharing app and a business-to-business surplus food redistribution service. Users can list unwanted items, such as food and household goods, for free, while businesses partner with Olio to redistribute unsold food. The app utilizes location-based technology to facilitate sharing within local communities. Additionally, a network of volunteers helps collect and distribute surplus food, further supporting the mission to minimize waste. By July 2025, Olio reported rescuing 120 million meals globally.
