It’s not every day we waste half of our food… oh wait, yes it is. But we are here to change that.
At Trendi, we are using robotics, upcycling and social change to combat excess and unnecessary waste of misfit food from farms, cuttings from processors, waste from retailers and even the waste we produce in our own homes.
Wasting food is expensive not just in dollars and resources but also in emissions, and hungry stomachs. With over 1.3 billion tonnes of food going to waste (contributing to 10% of emissions) and over 800 million facing food insecurity around the globe, something needs to be done! We can all do a better job of preventing waste, and we’d like to invite you to join us in our mission.
Are you a food producer, processor or retailer who wants to learn more about how to reduce food loss and related costs? Reach out, we'd love to talk. You can reach us at the following email: [email protected]
