The Waste Lab : Rescuing food scraps 🍌 Building soil. 🌱
Description
We are a women-owned, Dubai-based, impact-driven startup that aims to create an opportunity for every food scrap to become a solution rather than a burden on our society and environment.
We have understood that the only way, to regenerate and sustain nature’s resources for the future, is by empowering individuals and businesses to make a positive impact and by building its very foundation: Soil.
