Bright Feeds

Today we mark the one-year anniversary since the launch of Bright Feeds' inaugural #foodwaste to #animalfeed processing facility in Berlin, CT. We're incredibly proud of the milestones achieved: ?? Operations: We are thrilled to announce that we are now processing nearly 200 tons of food waste per day, transforming it into valuable animal feed. ?? Environmental Impact: Our collective efforts have led to the avoidance of an impressive 30,000 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions, contributing to a cleaner and healthier planet. ?? Quality Recognized: We're proud to serve 15 feed mill customers who have embraced our high-quality feed, recognized for its excellence. As we celebrate our first year, we're more determined than ever to realize our vision of a fully automated facility, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. We are excited to set our sights on creating similar facilities across the nation. Our mission is to make a positive impact on a larger scale. Thank you for being part of our journey. #Sustainability #BrightFeeds #Anniversary #GreenSolutions #OneYearMilestone

Congratulations to the MassDEP for leading the charge in food waste reduction. As highlighted in this recent article from The Washington Post, the state's innovative food waste bans are making a real difference in combatting climate change and reducing landfill waste. ?? At Bright Feeds, we are grateful for partnering in Massachusetts with our food waste transfer station in Oxford, MA. We share this vision with the state by turning food waste into nutrient-rich animal feed, helping the environment while supporting local agriculture. We’re proud to be part of a community that’s committed to sustainability. Amazing work by MassDEP and everyone involved in these groundbreaking initiatives! Let’s continue to pave the way for a greener future. ?? https://lnkd.in/e9hVPVnm #foodwaste #sustainability #closedloop #animalfeed #agtech

On Earth Day we are thrilled to share a glimpse of our new food waste transfer station in Oxford, Massachusetts. Opened in January 2024, this facility is permitted to take in 300 tons of food waste per day, marking a significant stride towards a greener future. Last week Tim Rassias, co-founder President and COO, and Christopher Rassias, VP Business Development, hosted Rob Gogan and MassRecycle with a tour of this new facility and to share how sustainability is at the core of everything we do. This facility not only diverts organic waste from landfills but also takes it a step further by de-packaging materials and transferring to our Connecticut processing facility where we converted into a highly-nutritious animal feed. By transforming waste into valuable resources, we're not just reducing landfill pressure, but also contributing to a more circular economy. Together, let's celebrate Earth Day by taking meaningful actions towards a healthier planet for all. Happy Earth Day! ???? #EarthDay #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #FoodWaste #WasteManagement
