INCUBATOR: The companies helping retailers drive the sustainability agenda 
Sustainability has shot to the top of the retail agenda in recent years as consumers increasingly gravitate to businesses with green credentials. But which companies should retailers be looking to partner with to help them on that journey? In their new series, Incubator, Retail Week has assembled a panel of experts to highlight the most innovative and exciting tech firms and start-ups that can help retailers turbocharge their strategies and adapt to changing consumer habits. This month, the panel runs the rule over the eye-catching firms creating more sustainable solutions for their retail partners.

The Waste Transformers process non-edible organic food waste 

onsite, turning it into green energy and also recovering all the nutrients in the waste in order to grow new, fresh food. 

The business says its model empowers every hospital, shopping mall, neighbourhood and food manufacturer to transform themselves from waste-producer into food-grower, without the need for any transport or CO2 emissions along the way. 

Biodegradable waste, such as kitchen waste and commercial waste, can be turned into liquid organic fertiliser and compost. Different sizes of its “digesters” can recycle between 500kg and 3,600kg of organic waste every day.

It has already launched a partnership with Swedish homewares giant Ikea for installation at one of its stores. Other retailers should take note. Tessa Clarke Olio
