HORNBACH, the DIY and garden market for all makers, is taking new paths in terms of sustainability: From now on, the company donates non-saleable plants to the association Foodsharing Austria. The aim of the cooperation is to use resources sensibly and to make an active contribution to society and the environment.
HORNBACH gives plants a second chance
Plants that can no longer be considered in the sales process will no longer end up in the waste at HORNBACH, but will receive a second chance: They are handed over to dedicated volunteers through Foodsharing Austria, processed, and then passed on to social institutions such as schools, kindergartens, or retirement homes. Needy individuals also benefit from this initiative.
The Foodsharing association has been active in Austria since 2013 and currently has over 9,100 dedicated volunteers. In more than 541,000 operations, they have saved food and now also plants from disposal – and put them to a meaningful use.
