Waste as a resource workstream
Goal: Increase circular economic benefit by 50% by 2025 by unlocking the value of waste
Our vision is to reimagine, reuse and revalue the inputs and outputs of our food ecosystem—maximizing their use, eliminating waste, optimizing economic value and reducing negative environmental impacts.
