SOS Thailand is pleased to announce yet another piece of evidence of our determination in tackling surplus food issues! 👏 We have received 2 awards ✨ from crQlr Awards. “crQlr” is a global consortium from Japan that encourages and promotes practitioners and advocates for a new society grounded on a circular economy! ♻️
.
The crQlr Awards are international awards that welcome a wide range of entries from the established major scale campaigns to concepts and designs in the preparation stage. Over 204 projects were sent to crQlr Awards from 24 countries worldwide. 🌏
.
The awards aim to catalyze 3 primary changes in how we live:
1. Economy: from linear to circular
-Using technology to support and boost recycling practices
2. Society: from consumption to regenerate
-Shifting the main activity from depleting our resources to recreating alternatives
3. Industry: from closed to open
-Open for other companies as partners to share their innovation
.
The Food Rescue Programme by SOS Thailand won 2 awards from the contest which are “Community Design Prize” and “Food Impact Prize”🏆 and we are amongst 3 winners from Thailand.
.
The Food Rescue Programme revolves around ‘rescuing’ surplus food from our partners in food-related businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and other suppliers then ‘reallocating’ them to impoverished or underprivileged communities in Thailand. 🤲 👨👩👧👧 SOS Thailand has been pioneering this system since 2016 and we will continue to expand our impact and extend our aid to more people.
.
The crQlr Awards are given as a sign of recognition for action not praise for frame 💪 It is a free space that allows creative thinkers and new eco-friendly ideas to flourish 🌷 And it is high time that we should earnestly preserve the Earth and sustain our resources.
