The Spent Goods Company

Beer -> Bread! Upcycling and Commercializing Food Waste

Description

The Spent Goods Company, founded in Toronto, ON, Canada in 2018, aims to prevent food loss and waste by teaming up with local breweries and bakeries to turn “spent” beer grains into new products. These products include loaves of bread, bagels, English muffins, buns, and snacks such as crackers and pretzels. Following this approach, Spent Goods demonstrates the role business can play in reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact, while creating a delicious, nutritious product that generates income for participants throughout the food supply chain.
