Project Summary / Description:

Reducing food waste is the 3rd most impactful measure to reverse climate change (Drawdown.org). 40% of food produced is never consumed, making it the single largest CO2 emitter. 

Repairing the food system, through efficient supply chain management - specifically dynamic pricing- is a $120B opportunity according to a recent BCG study. 

With our proven track record in Data for Food and found that the best entry point is at groceries, where the farm meets the fork, where the impact can drive suppliers to become more sustainable as well as to create a scalable opportunity for consumers to act upon awareness.

Wasteless is an equal opportunity organization, with a diversity in its DNA. With the founders hailing from Iraqi/Turkish and Belarus/Rumanian backgrounds, creating opportunities is a key focus. Our development is run by PhD students whose academic work we support and enable. Key positions in the company have been held by women and minorities from the inception. But our biggest achievement is to make healthy, fresh food substantially cheaper and bring it within reach of lower income shoppers.
