Transform waste into value with real-time data and insights for food producers aiming to improve efficiency, sustainability, and profitability.

About

The Waste-to-Value Tracker is a digital platform designed for food manufacturers to monitor, analyse, and optimise food waste across their operations.

By turning production waste into actionable data, the platform empowers teams to identify where losses are occurring, measure their financial impact, and uncover new value streams. This not only helps reduce costs and improve margins but also supports sustainability targets and ESG reporting.

The tool integrates seamlessly with factory processes and accounting systems, allowing waste data to feed into gross margin and operational performance metrics. Over time, manufacturers can benchmark performance, track improvements, and make smarter decisions about product changeovers, line efficiency, and resource use.

Built specifically for circular food systems, this platform enables producers to take control of surplus, side streams, and lost product — turning each into a measurable opportunity.

Whether you’re looking to reduce landfill costs, validate upcycling potential, or enhance traceability, Waste-to-Value Tracker offers a scalable solution to help food manufacturers transition from waste to value.
