fleischTEILE
fleischTEILE focuses on reducing food waste by selling meat in a new way
Two households join forces and buy a slaughtered animal together. The idea is not new, but at fleischTEILE we do not need a freezer anymore. Each participant concludes a purchase contract for half a cow or a half pig. It undertakes to buy, cook and eat the entire half over a certain period of time. The animal is imaginary. It exists in a computer program. If you fancy meat, the participant selects a piece from her half-animal online and orders it from the cooperating butcher's shop. 2 days later, the piece is ready for pickup. From the diaphragm to the brain, from whey to blood, every consumable piece is used as food. After that, this part no longer exists for the consumer. The purchase of another animal is possible only after the eaten first.
