Company mission
To make sure good food feeds humans, before waste systems.
Our take
The global food supply chain suffers from 7 times more food waste at manufacturing stages than at retail, resulting in 40% of food produced never making it to market due to rigid supply chains and over ordering. Wonki Collective’s B2B SaaS platform remedies this by helping manufacturers manage their surplus stock, ensuring that high-quality ingredients remain in the food supply chain.
The Wonki Collective’s API platform automatically analyses connected food suppliers and manufacturers for wasted resources, use-by dates and the necessary health and safety documentation. It then processes this information and uses a matchmaking tool to discover the best channels for the reselling, reusing and redistribution of unused and waste materials.
Though a small and young company, The Wonki Collective has discovered a glaring hole in a market desperately requiring a shake-up. If Wonki Collective were to see widespread national adoption, the positive environmental impact could be massive. Here’s to hoping it can scale its efforts and draw in food manufacturing partners and customers.
