Extra information

The Company: Elysia, founded in 2016 – Impact Hub of Islington, EC1V London

Elysia is a food based, social enterprise, start-up with a sustainable twist! We prepare breakfasts, lunch + canapés using high quality rescued food from local independent producers, we make everything using food that would otherwise be wasted due to natural imperfections or overproduction. We deliver by bicycle to businesses in central London for meeting and events.

For instance, we transform organic aubergines that don't fit conventional standards of vegetable beauty, British cheese that was sampled during the maturing process and can't be sold to customer, and handmade granola not needed because of overproduction.

Overall, each time we buy a product that would otherwise been thrown away, there is an immediate impact:

  1. A positive impact on the environment by reducing food waste;
  2. Producers gain an additional revenue and learn creative way to fight food waste;
  3. Customers become more aware of food sustainability and can afford artisan products.

You may wonder where does the name "Elysia" come from? The name Elysia is derived from the Elysian fields in Greek Mythology, a blissful place where Ancient Greeks went for a happy afterlife.

We give rescued food a new lease of life!

Elysia is based at the Impact Hub of Islington, a dynamic co-working space with a very friendly atmosphere in central London (next to Old Street).
