“Eliminating food waste is an essential step needed to fight climate change,” said McQuillan. “Joining as part of a first-of-its-kind solution that addresses food waste at this scale is an honor. I am proud to be supporting a company committed to doing good for people and the planet.”
Launched in 2021, Do Good Foods’ mission is to take a scaled infrastructure approach to the elimination of grocery store food waste in the U.S. The U.S. throws away more than 100 billion pounds of food each year, with about a third of that coming from grocery stores. The Do Good Foods’ closed-loop model collects nutritious surplus grocery after community donations are made and upcycles it into the animal feed which is then integrated into the animals’ diet, creating the first carbon reduced protein available at a scale that fights food waste and combats climate change.
