Meet the team headed to the 2026 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit. As a sponsor of this year’s food waste summit, we’re sending an elite contingent of food waste and recycling experts. You might say they’re the OGs of repurposing with purpose, the legends of landfill diversion, the bosses of by-product reclamation, the vanguards of adding value, and the GOATs of garbage past.
