FoodCycler

Founded in 2011 by Bradley Crepeau and Murray Arthur, FoodCycle Science is a proudly Canadian company with Bradley Crepeau serving as CEO. 

The team at FoodCycle Science—comprised of food waste experts and engineers—is driven by a shared mission: to create user-friendly technology that addresses the global food waste crisis. 

The company offers sustainable food waste recycling solutions for both municipalities and individual consumers. Its flagship product, the FoodCycler, reduces the weight and volume of food waste by up to 90%, transforming it into nutrient-rich fertilizer.

Food waste in Canada produces about 56.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions each year as it breaks down in landfills—half of which comes from households. Alarmingly, food waste is responsible for approximately 58% of the methane emissions escaping from municipal solid waste landfills. As it decomposes, it releases methane gas, a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than the CO₂ emitted by vehicles.

Since 2011, thanks to the efforts of FoodCycler users, FoodCycle Science has diverted over 13 million kilograms of food waste from landfills across North America.  This has resulted in the avoidance of 223,300 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually—the equivalent of taking more than 53,000 gas-powered vehicles off the road each year!

FoodCycle Science is proud to be part of the environmental solution, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and keep food waste out of landfills.  In recognition of this impact, ecoMVMNT has given FoodCycle Science their “Environmental Seal of Approval” for its leadership in cutting emissions, minimizing landfill waste, and educating communities about practical solutions to everyday food waste challenges.
