Happy Upcycling Day! 🌱 Today is an extra special celebration of the innovation and critical role that upcycling is playing in feeding the world and mitigating climate change. Why is it so important? Right now, 38% of food in the United States goes unsold or uneaten (ReFED) - globally upcycling plays a key part in every step of the supply chain where foods can be repurposed into their highest form - for human consumption! As we see this movement galvanizing quickly - across policy, technology, and innovation from independent brands to corporations, we encourage all stakeholders in the industry to learn more about how they can become involved. Whether you are a CPG brand, ingredient supplier, distributor, retailer, or just interested in learning about what you can do as a consumer, we want to hear from you! Reach out to us at [email protected] to learn how your company (whether you have an upcycled product yet or not) or you as an individual can get involved and champion the highest use of food everywhere.
