The Best Food & Waste News, At Your Disposal

Hi there!

This past month, we saw first hand how different stakeholders are thinking about effective management of unsold inventory and food waste reduction. From presenting to Kentucky’s leading distillers, to engaging with Consumer Goods Forum members in Montreal, to connecting with top wholesale food distributors in our nation’s capital, we continue to be excited by the enthusiasm and interest from major food and beverage companies in recovering value from unsold inventory. (FYI...Recent presentations can be accessed on our Resources page.)

Check out the new content on our website! We recently made updates to our Homepage, Solutions page, and New England Marketplace page. If you haven’t been to our site in awhile, now is the time to revisit and see what’s new.

Looking ahead, we will be heading to Philadelphia in mid-November for the Sustainable Brands’ New Metrics conference. Shoot us a note if you want to meet up.

Thanks for your support!
