What's different about our approach?

Focus

Our singular focus is innovating resource stewardship – starting with food waste, diverting it from landfilling, and working to make it easy for mid to small scale food waste generators do their part.

Sustainability
(Economic & Ecological)

We are committed to building a nonprofit business from the ground up in order to best ensure the longevity and expansion of the environmental, community, and economic benefits created through its products and services.

Holistic Integration

The approach is vertically integrated, meaning it’s focused on developing capabilities across each step of the food waste recycling and recovery process (i.e. collections, composting, and marketing of finished products). Doing so makes it less likely quality and operations will be diminished due to uncontrollable third-party issues.

Modularity

Integration across multiple food waste composting steps creates complexity which requires operations stay small and local. This limitation has been used to create a more service oriented and quickly reproducible operation in order to best meet needs as they arise.

Openness

As the need for food waste collections routes, neighborhood composting hubs, and compost marketing grow – we are poised to share those opportunities with anyone who would like to participate, building a platform for food waste composting based on lessons learned from companies like Uber and Airbnb.

Philanthropy

GoZERO, has been created as a nonprofit in order to provide food waste collection services and premium compost delivery with the greatest community benefit.
