Our CEO Jonathan Fife speaking on a panel today at @refed#FoodWasteSolutionsSummit on the value of food waste to animal feed.
It’s been great to connect at the summit with others in the #foodwaste community to share ideas and find value in partnerships across industries.
Food waste has value. @BrightFeeds is unlocking that value through innovations in technology. They are closing the loop by turning unwanted food into a high-value, consistent and nutrient rich animal feed. Amazing work, and their support of #FoodWasteSummit23 is so appreciated!
We are thrilled to share the news that @CT_Innovate ClimateTech Fund has invested in #BrightFeeds. This latest investment will allow us to build out the necessary infrastructure in CT to grow. Learn more https://t.co/6rDo0mrcXt
500,000 tons of food scraps in our waste stream annually? We have businesses right here in CT ready to process it. Gov Lamont’s HB 6664 will make it convenient & affordable for businesses, residents, schools & more to get that valuable (& costly!) material out of the waste stream
“@brightfeeds is really taking farm-to-table, & adding on table back to farm, & it’s really amazing to see what that can mean for jobs & sustainability & also for cost savings for our municipalities & businesses here in the state.” CT DEEP Commissioner @kscharfdykes
Honored to host @GovNedLamont and @CTDEEPNews at our facility today. We support Governor’s HB 6664 to help solve the #foodwaste crisis in the state. Grateful to be part of the solution!
We joined @GovNedLamont at @BrightFeeds in #BerlinCT to talk with #Connecticut leaders in organics processing about the future of waste management, HB 6664, and turning our food scraps and organics into animal feed, energy and compost.
