CEO & Founder SIRPLUS
Raphael Fellmer is an entrepreneur, climate activist, author, and founder of the Berlin-based impact startup SIRPLUS. The company rescues surplus food along the entire value chain and brings it back into circulation through its online shop. Together with more than 160,000 customers, SIRPLUS has already saved over 5 million kilograms of food and donated more than 1 million meals to people in need.
His mission is to create a world where everyone has enough to eat. Through SIRPLUS, he has brought food rescue into the mainstream, raising awareness and appreciation for food across society, business, and politics.
Raphael’s journey began in 2009 when he started “dumpster diving” to highlight the massive scale of food waste. That same year, he embarked on a journey without money from the Netherlands across Europe and West Africa, crossing the Atlantic to Brazil and continuing to the United States to promote sustainable living and fight food waste.
He lived more than five years in what he called a “money strike,” drawing attention to solutions for a world without hunger and waste.
Raphael is also co-founder of foodsharing, Europe’s largest volunteer food rescue movement, with over 450,000 registered users. The initiative has saved more than 250 million kilograms of food from over 17,000 businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
