Concept Behind Rebake Petit!!

The rebake petit!! event focuses on selling "loss bread" – products that do not sell out in stores and are at risk of being wasted. The initiative seeks to alleviate the mental burden on bakery owners who face difficult decisions regarding leftover baked goods that have not been sold by the end of the day. The goal is to provide a platform to give these delicious items a second chance, thus connecting consumers with fresh products while raising awareness about food waste.

Bakeries typically are required to predict how many loaves they can sell daily, and when they miscalculate, leftover bread ends up being discarded. This reinforces a damaging cycle that leads to waste and environmental harm.

Through exhibits and sales, rebake petit!! emphasizes that loss bread is not of inferior quality; rather, it's often fresh and delicious. Events like these aim to challenge the misconception among consumers that bread left unsold is undesirable. Weather conditions and other uncontrollable factors contribute heavily to the amount of bread that does not sell on a given day, affecting even the most popular bakeries.

Previous Success

The rebake petit!! concept has been successfully implemented in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, across nine events, drawing in plenty of attendees who embrace the mission to reduce food waste. The upcoming event in Aomori represents an opportunity to expand this initiative further into other communities, bringing awareness to the locals and reflecting on the principles of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically goal number 11: making towns livable and sustainable.
