WISErg
Food waste management technologies designed to divert food scraps from landfills, composters and digesters
About WISErg
Founded in 2009, WISErg is a sustainable products company that combines biological science and engineering to convert food waste into high-quality agricultural inputs. The company operates in the agricultural sector, primarily serving grocery stores and farmers. WISErg's proprietary Harvester technology captures food scraps from grocery stores, which are then transformed using a patented process to produce fertilizers and other agricultural products. These products are 100% sustainable and offer superior performance compared to traditional fertilizers. The company's business model revolves around diverting millions of pounds of food waste from landfills each year, retaining valuable nutrients, and selling the resulting nutrient-rich fertilizers to growers. This not only helps in waste management but also provides a sustainable solution for agricultural needs.
