Mill | Why Mill
Food waste is solvable. So we built the solution.
We’re on a mission to keep food out of the trash — starting in your kitchen, and reaching well beyond it.

A third of our food never gets eaten. And the planet pays for it.
Food rotting in our kitchens is gross enough, but when it rots in landfills it releases methane which is roughly 80 times more potent than CO2. Making wasted food responsible for around 10% of global emissions. If it were a country, it’d be the third-largest emitter on Earth, behind only China and the U.S.
