The ERA loves to support organizations that contribute to the sustainability of our environment and resources so we were happy to donate a laptop, projector, and tablet to La Transformerie.
La Transformerie is a non-profit organization that reduces food waste in Montreal by realizing positives and effectives solutions for the unsold food while raising awareness with the merchants and consumers.
Their operations take place in the borough of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie within a radius of less than 8 km. This proximity to action assures them of positive impacts within the local community while minimizing their ecological footprint.
Every Sunday, they collect all unsold items * from partner grocery stores and fruit stores. The collection allows them to rescue unsold items from Friday and Saturday that would otherwise go to the trash.
They collect all the departments: butcher, bakery, grocery store (egg, dairy products, dried products and etc.), fruits and vegetables, fish, ready-to-eat.
The collection points are grocery and fruit stores in the borough of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie in Montreal where they collect unsold items on a weekly basis. By donating their unsold items, the merchants give a second life to these always edible foods: some are transformed into spreads that some of these merchants resell, others will be redistributed to local organizations. Important players in the food system, food businesses are gradually showing greater openness to this way of doing things and showing their desire to improve their practices.
