Show Notes

99% of people agree that food waste is a problem.  The pandemic has accelerated many trends around the world, and reducing food waste is now at the forefront of the movement to reduce greenhouse gases and global warming.  Thousands of major CPG brands and companies worldwide have “sustainability” goals that need to be met.  One way they can meet these goals and increase profits is by using upcycled food ingredients.

Join me for an eye-opening and extremely inspiring talk with Turner Wyatt, CEO of the Upcycled Food Association.  So far, they have ‘certified’ 200 products (just within the last nine months) that in aggregate have saved 800 MILLION POUNDS of food from going to waste.  Imagine what those numbers will look like once they get through the next 200 products that are on deck to be certified and officially put back into the food chain in other CPG products.

The NexxtLevel Brands Podcast is hosted by G. Steven Cleere, Founder and “Chief Pot Stirrer” of NexxtLevel Brands. This show focuses on disruptors and thought-leaders from the Entrepreneurial Food, Beverage, and CPG Industry, but we also share tips from veterans and key suppliers that may help fellow CPG professionals achieve their goals.
