Food Waste Intelligence

Leanpath is deployed in nearly 200 Google cafes in 21 countries. Since 2014 when we started working together, Leanpath has helped Google prevent 4 million pounds of food waste from going to the landfill. See how they’ve done it.

We’re on a mission to make food waste prevention and measurement everyday practice in the world’s kitchens. Right now, working with thousands of foodservice teams in over 30 countries, we’re preventing 1 pound of food waste every 3 seconds… 1 kilogram every 7 seconds. While you read that… we prevented more food waste.

Leanpath CEO Andrew Shakman has been recognized in the inaugural Waste Fit Champion Awards. Award sponsors Rubicon Global, Sustainable Brands, Wharton Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership and Goodr teamed up to recognize zero waste warriors who are driving change in their business or city to reduce waste and expense.

In a highly visible gathering at the USDA in Washington D.C. the U.S. government increased its focus on the food waste challenge, launching its “Winning on Reducing Food Waste Initiative” – headlined by the signing of a formal agreement by the leaders of the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

At LeanPath, we’re excited that World Food Day, October 16^th, has once again arrived. Given the need to sustainably feed 9.6 billion citizens by 2050, and the many challenges in the global food system that we currently face, it is indeed an important event on the calendar – and it means a lot to us.
