Welcome to the Startup CPG podcast.

There's a phrase, Rising Tides, lift all boats.

In the startup community, that is so true.

You know, partnerships come in all shapes and sizes.

Today's episode with Caroline Cotto, the C.O.

of Renewal Mill.

They're a company that is rescuing the byproducts of existing foods

and turning them into superfood ingredients, upcycling them.

And Caroline knows the power of partnerships. When you're, when you're,

have an open mind and really lean into opportunities to form new relationships, some real magic can

happen. On today's episode, we talk about the partnership's renewal mill forges every step of the way,

from the creation of their sustainable upcycled

ingredients, to sales partners they've worked with, to bring products to shelves, to the coalition

of companies working to create an upcycling certification and make upcycling as recognized

as organic. Ultimately, our goal is to be the go-to ingredient supplier for

sustainable ingredients for companies of all sizes. I'm delighted to welcome Caroline Cato to the

Startup CPG podcast. Welcome, Caroline. Thanks so much. I'm super excited to be here. Huge fan of

the Startup CPG community. We're excited to be here. Huge fan of the startup CPG community.

We're excited to have you. So tell us about Renewal Mill. Renewal Mill was started with the

intention of fighting food waste through upcycling at the food manufacturing level. So we take

what's left over from different food manufacturers that is kind of arbitrarily labeled

as waste and make sure to keep that valuable nutrition in the human supply chain.
