You might be forgiven for thinking that I’m becoming a little obsessed with brands that turn waste into value, and you’d be right!
Last week we had Goodcitizens, aiming to Untrash the Planet by turning post consumer plastic into desirable eyewear.
This week we have another incredible Aussie entrepreneur, who’s getting even grubbier (pun very much intended) by using insects to turn food waste into protein and fertiliser.
Phoebe Gardiner is the Co-Founder of Bardee, and AgTech start-up from Melbourne who’s managed in just 3 years to scale operations up to processing 40 tonnes of food waste every single day.
Food waste is one of the biggest contributors to Greenhouse Gas emissions. It’s estimated that every tonne of food waste averted from landfill saves nearly 2 tonnes of emissions, so quite aside from the alchemy of turning waste into value, Bardee’s operations are already materially contributing to our struggles towards Net Zero. So much so, that they’re the first insect tech project in the world to become a recognised & certified Carbon Offset provider.
