Another big milestone, $75,000 invested!
WOW!! We're over the moon to share that, with more than 260 investors joining our team, we've raised more than $75,000 to date! With just over 30 days left in the campaign, this is a major milestone as we head into the final sprint that will help fuel our growth in 2021. At this pivot point, we also wanted to share a quote from our partner at Barilla about why they believe circular economy is the way forward:
"As one of the world's largest food companies, we know our decisions have power. That's why Barilla is committed to guaranteeing responsible production that is attentive to the planet's resources. We see circular economy solutions and upcycled food as one of the most important opportunities to make production more responsible and are proud to partner with Renewal Mill to ensure efficiency that reduces harmful greenhouse gases and water consumption. Using upcycled ingredients today means that the next generation will have a tomorrow."
- Michaela Petronio,
VP Blu1877 (Barilla)
Also, yesterday, the Upcycled Food Association (UFA) officially released the Upcycled Certification Standard for public comment!! For those of you who have been following this process, this is your opportunity to have a direct hand in determining the standards by which foods can be "certified upcycled" and print a certification seal on front of pack. Public comment is open until December 6th. Don't miss your chance to weigh in on the work that Renewal Mill & the UFA have been doing over the last 12 months and shape the future of food.
