Confidential (Registered Users Only) is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food. We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed. Tens of thousands of Confidential (Registered Users Only)’s residential food recyclers are already helping households divert Confidential (Registered Users Only)ions of pounds of food scraps every year, paving the way for our upcoming launch of Confidential (Registered Users Only) Commercial—the industry’s first end-to-end solution for managing, understanding, and preventing food waste in commercial environments (e.g. grocery, restaurants, food services). At Confidential (Registered Users Only), we are passionate about building easy-to-use, beautifully designed technologies that keep food in the food system and out of landfills.
