Automated monitoring tech helping kitchens cut food waste in half is our debut winner
At SustainabilityExamples.com, our mission is to spotlight the companies and innovators building real, practical solutions to today’s climate and sustainability challenges. In doing so, our purpose is to inspire more companies to take action and drive corporate sustainability.
And today, we’re proud to announce the very first recipient of our new monthly recognition programme: Positive Carbon, named our Solution of the Month for April 2025.
🏆 Why PositiveCarbon Stood Out
Food waste is one of the most solvable sustainability issues—yet it continues to account for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. By providing precise data, we help kitchens slash food waste by up to 75%, significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions 📉 and boosting their bottom line 💰 making sustainability truly achievable and measurable.
Their solution doesn’t just cut emissions—it saves money, simplifies sustainability reporting, and makes smart waste reduction achievable for every food business, from universities to contract caterers.
🧪 Judged Against 6 Criteria, They Delivered Across the Board:
Each month, our editorial team selects one standout solution that demonstrates excellence across these six dimensions:
- Engagement – Actively launching and receiving the highest number of upvotes from champions
- Impact – Real, measurable environmental results
- Storytelling inspiration – Inspiring others to learn and take action
- Innovation – A fresh, innovative approach to real-world problems
- Scalability – Potential to drive change across sectors
- Business & ESG Alignment – Drives both profit and sustainability
Positive Carbon not only met these criteria—they exceeded them.
💬 “This is exactly the kind of solution we built the platform to celebrate and drive measurable competitive advantages for—it's smart, proven, and ready to scale,” said Andrew Sheehan, Founder of SustainabilityExamples.com.
“Positive Carbon makes reducing food waste and emissions effortless, and their story is one every sustainability leader should know about.”
