In 2019, after discovering the truth about food waste and climate change, BWild designed a Table-to-Farm program aimed at helping Salt Lake residents reduce their weekly trash production by preventing undesirable organic material from joining the typical waste stream. Our goal was to upcycle these “discards”, via a partnership with Wasatch Resource Recovery, into a new life as bio-fertilizer and "green" natural gas, biomethane. For more information on the process, download the PDF (below) and/or visit wasatchresourcerecovery.com.
We ran into some hiccups with our original pilot project, but we won't stop there! We are currently exploring any and all possibilities for upcyling food waste and welcome your input! For information on the Upcycled Food movement visit www.upcycledfood.org
