Startups are capitalizing on the opportunity to reduce household food waste by selling kitchen devices that turn food scraps into reusable substances for farms or gardens. These companies are benefiting from government policies aimed at cutting down on food waste in landfills. The success of these startups is crucial for the Biden administration and other nations looking to reduce methane emissions and combat climate change. However, the question remains whether eco-conscious consumers will be willing to pay for these devices, which can be expensive compared to cheaper alternatives like backyard composting. The federal government has set a goal of halving food waste by 2030, and states and municipalities are also taking steps to avoid sending food waste to landfills. Some startups, like Lomi and Food Cycle Science, are marketing their machines as "kitchen composters," but it's important to note that dehydrating food does not create compost. Mill Industries, a company that dehydrates food waste, plans to use the resulting "food grounds" to make chicken feed. While some skeptics question the idea of shipping food scraps through the mail, Mill is working on adding more local destinations and expects the price to decrease over time.
