The Curious Case of Transforming Food Waste

If food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. On this episode of FoodTech Junkies we speak with Julia and Jordy Kay. One was an architect and the other a winemaker, and both have become eco-warriors. Their latest project involves diverting food waste from landfills and converting it into an eco-friendly alternative to plastic, and is only the first step in a long term effort. Tune in to find out more!About Jordy and Julia KayWe're Jordy & Julia Kay (the former architect and winemaker) and we're the Co-founders of Great Wrap. Our goal is to make products from the best materials possible, everyday. Currently we manufacture home compostable stretch wrap from food waste and with our team of brainy scientists and engineers, we will continue to improve our materials and offer many more products. Our team at Great Wrap are proudly developing technology that will change the world, one roll at a time. So buckle up and thanks for joining us on the ride! About Great WrapWe saw a materials revolution happening around us. Everything was changing rapidly; energy, transport and agriculture yet plastic stayed the same. We knew the technology existed to put an end to plastic waste but there weren’t any products available on the market for us to use. That’s when Great Wrap was born. We invented the products we knew the world was missing so we can dump plastic once and for all. We are driven by impact, fuelled by demand and have a 10 year vision for a world where plastic doesn’t exist. This is a public episode.
