Repurposing surplus food into animal feed captures the highest-value use, preserving the embedded resources used to produce it and supporting a net-positive climate outcome by avoiding waste emissions and reducing demand for virgin feed inputs.
Our Solutions
Food Upcycling and Animal Feed Programs
Benefits of food upcycling
Food recycling keeps valuable materials in use while reducing the environmental and operational impact of landfill disposal. When done responsibly, it supports sustainability goals and creates measurable outcomes across the food system.
Key benefits:
• Reduces landfill reliance and disposal costs
• Lowers greenhouse gas emissions
• Supports agriculture and livestock nutrition
• Preserves embedded resources in food
• Strengthens sustainability and ESG reporting
Benefits of animal feed programs
Animal feed programs repurpose food byproducts into reliable nutrition for livestock, creating value beyond disposal. When managed with care and consistency, these programs support herd health, agriculture, and responsible food lifecycling.
Key benefits:
• Provides consistent, reliable nutrition for livestock
• Supports herd health and on-farm performance
• Reduces waste by keeping food in the feed chain
• Preserves nutrients and embedded resources
• Supports sustainable, best-practice food lifecycling
How we approach solutions:
Onsite Consultation and Review
We start with an on site review of your operations, waste streams, and current handling practices to understand volumes, logistics, and requirements.
Program Design and Implementation
We build a program around how your facility runs, aligning collection, handling, and end use with your production schedule and material types.
Program Execution
We run the program day to day, adjusting to changes in volume, production, and seasonal demand.
Reporting and Continuous Improvement
We provide clear reporting, track materials through final disposition, and make adjustments over time to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
