Company mission
To make the world's food systems more sustainable.
Our take
One of the biggest global challenges is tackling excessive food waste, with one-third of food produced around the world ultimately wasted. Orbisk is confronting this issue with its innovative waste bins that come equipped with a smart camera and a scale. It automatically registers all food being thrown away in professional kitchens, providing the food service industry with better waste visibility and insights as to how to improve operations, purchasing, and sourcing.
The company partnered with Sama – the leader in high-quality AI training data – to support accurate labelling of the thousands of food images taken by its Orbi cameras. This partnership truly propelled the company forward in terms of accuracy and credibility (with Sama winning the 2023 Business Intelligence Group Innovation Award for its work with Orbisk). Though the market is becoming increasingly competitive, Orbisk is well-placed to see growth as it aims to reduce food waste in kitchens across the globe.
