Platable has already rescued over 1.5 tonnes of perfectly edible food in its first few months<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a city that never stops innovating, one home-grown start-up is quietly transforming how Dubai eats \u2014 and how little it wastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Platable, the sustainability-focused app that turns surplus meals into steep discounts, has already rescued over 1.5 tonnes of perfectly edible food in its first few months. With 30 000 users onboarded in just four months, the platform is riding a wave of eco-conscious momentum: diners snag meals at up to 60 % off, while restaurants and grocers turn would-be waste into fresh revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe built Platable because we watched great food get binned while people hunted for affordable, quality meals,\u201d says founder Salmaan Mohammed. \u201cWe want sustainability to be effortless \u2014 and rewarding \u2014 for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, the impact is tangible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf 1.5 tonnes food diverted from landfill has prevented \u2248 6.6 tonnes CO\u2082-e emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Because 64 % of orders are pick-ups (no motorcycles, no fuel), an additional \u2248 1.35 tonnes CO\u2082 has been spared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A movement backed by brands<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 200 outlets \u2014 including Dunkin\u2019, Krispy Kreme, Grandiose and Common Grounds \u2014 now list their surplus on Platable, with over 80 brands active every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affordability meets purpose<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every discounted box chips away at the UAE\u2019s multi-billion-dirham food-waste bill while putting quality meals within reach of more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aligned with the UAE\u2019s sustainability vision<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Platable\u2019s mission dovetails with the UAE\u2019s Food Loss and Waste Reduction Strategy to cut waste 50 % by 2030. The team is already in dialogue with Ne\u2019ma, the national food-waste coalition, and looks forward to collaborating closely to amplify impact across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Expansion \u2013 rolling out to Sharjah and Abu Dhabi in Q3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Deeper impact reporting \u2013 real-time dashboards for partners and users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Rewards & education \u2013 in-app challenges that teach, nudge, and celebrate sustainable eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a city famous for thinking big, Platable proves that small daily choices \u2014 like what\u2019s on your plate \u2014 can drive lasting, systemic change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
