Circular Showcase
Food Waste Action Week concluded in the UK yesterday, with this year’s theme focused on making food go further through waste prevention and smarter recycling. At its core, that’s exactly what circularity is about: keeping resources in use for as long as possible and recovering value from what would otherwise be discarded.
Across the global circular economy, companies are developing new technologies, platforms and infrastructure to tackle food waste from multiple angles. This week, we’re highlighting five organisations doing exactly that:
Winnow
🔗 https://www.winnowsolutions.com/
Winnow develops AI-powered food waste monitoring systems used in commercial kitchens around the world. By combining smart scales with computer vision technology, the platform provides chefs with detailed analytics on what is being thrown away, helping kitchens reduce waste, cut costs and optimise food purchasing.
OLIO
🔗 https://olioapp.com/
OLIO is a community-powered food sharing platform that connects neighbours, businesses and volunteers to redistribute surplus food locally. Through its mobile app, users can list unwanted food or collect surplus items from nearby households, retailers and cafés, preventing edible food from being thrown away.
Innovafeed
🔗 https://www.innovafeed.com/
Innovafeed converts organic waste streams into insect protein using industrial-scale black soldier fly farming. Its technology transforms food waste into sustainable ingredients for animal feed and fertiliser, creating a circular system that recovers value from agricultural and food processing by-products.
Vanguard Renewables
🔗 https://www.vanguardrenewables.com/
Vanguard Renewables develops anaerobic digestion facilities that convert food and beverage waste into renewable natural gas. Its “Farm Powered®” model combines organic waste from manufacturers, retailers and foodservice operators with dairy farm manure to produce low-carbon energy.
Circular Systems (Agraloop)
🔗 https://circularsystems.com/agraloop
Circular Systems’ Agraloop platform converts agricultural and food-crop residues into natural textile fibres for the fashion industry. Using specialised processing, cellulose from crop stems and leaves is refined into Agraloop BioFibre™, a textile-grade fibre that can be spun into yarns and fabrics.
These companies are just a handful of the 1,000+ organisations listed in the Circular Connect Directory.
If you haven’t explored the directory yet, now is a great time to take a look. We’re building the most comprehensive global platform for circular economy companies, making it easier to discover technologies, partners and innovators shaping the future of circular supply chains.
