These numbers describe Vientiane’s food-service market - the surplus Reloop is built to reduce. They are not Reloop’s rescued-to-date totals. Bags we move will be counted from live orders after launch.

A density goal for Vientiane - not stores already live on Reloop.
Waste range is a Vientiane food-service planning proxy (about 29,000–31,000 tonnes/year), grounded in UNEP Food Waste Index context. Restaurant and café counts are from OpenStreetMap (817 restaurants, 313 cafés). Laos internet users are from DataReportal Digital 2025. One hundred active merchants is a 90-day pilot target, not partners already live. Scenario GMV and CO₂e from investor planning tools are not shown here as Reloop results. Planning ranges, not guarantees - not third-party certified carbon accounting.
Reloop’s own bags reserved will appear here when the marketplace is live.
