Preventing Food Loss and Waste with Partners Throughout the Food Supply Chain
Bruized, founded in 2019 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a women-run startup that aims to prevent food loss and waste and encourage plant-based diets. Bruized accomplishes this by using ingredients that would otherwise go to landfill or compost, thus preventing food from being wasted. Products include compotes, chutneys, cookies, and pulp-based granola for topping on yogurt and cereal. Bruized also uses recyclable/reusable materials (such as Mason jars) for packaging whenever possible to also minimize non-food waste. By making this message central to its business, Bruized aims to help consumers consider and minimize the waste impacts of their shopping and dietary habits.
