Harry Tannenbaum on LinkedIn: Foothills Farm 🤝 Mill "First you grow the soil..." Stoked to be able to… (2024)

Shake Shack 🤝 Mill Fired up about this. Hats off to Shake Shack for doing an awesome job (already) at minimizing wasted food at their locations -- the average household produces more food scraps than their West Village Shack. Grateful to get to work together to keep this kitchen (and the planet) clean!

When we founded Mill, we thought it was pretty wild that, in the year 2020:(1) Taking out the garbage was a multiple-times-a-week chore for the majority of Americans (2) Food waste was the single largest category of material in the landfillThe dream was and is: to make it really freaking clean and easy to keep uneaten food in the food system – either in a backyard compost or at a nearby farm. It’s still the early days, but with our first million pounds processed under our belt, we’re really starting to feel the flow. Fruit flies and raccoons have been furious, but our customers are stoked.Today, we’re feeling fired up that Mill was named the Fast Company’s #1 Most Innovative Consumer Goods Company (and #27 overall, globally).

I’m obviously a bit biased, but I can wholeheartedly confirm that the product is totally awesome. Once you live with Mill, your kitchen (and your life!) won’t be the same again.You can check it out at www.mill.com. And if you don’t love it after 30 days, we’ll give you all your money back!

At Mill, we’ve been following the news about budget cuts to NYC’s composting community with dismay, sadness, and a growing sense of alarm. We know that keeping food out of landfills is one of the most impactful and straightforward ways to address climate change. In New York, organizations like GrowNYC, Big Reuse, The Lower East Side Ecology Center, Earth Matter NY, New York Botanical Garden, Queens Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and each year collectively:•Divert 8.3+ million pounds of organic waste from landfills.•Supply community groups, parks, street tree care events, and thousands of individuals with hundreds of thousands of pounds of compost.•Engage over 1,000 yearly participants in Master Composter activities through food, farming, and composting opportunities across the city.•Coordinate compost outreach and climate crisis education programs for over 600,000 New Yorkers.•Operate 6 community composting sites, providing the most sustainable and equitable form of organics waste management.Despite their impact, $3 million in NYC budget cuts will essentially wipe out these vital services.47,000 people are already urging Mayor Adams and the City council to continue funding these programs. We hope that happens. But in the meantime, Mill, together with other philanthropic partners, are proud to share that we’ve donated $350,000 in emergency stopgap funding to maintain compost processing operations through the spring for organizations previously funded by the NYC Compost Project, including Big Reuse, LES Ecology Center, and Earth Matter NY. The funding also prevents the loss of some of the 40+ green jobs and expertise at risk as a result of these budget cuts. Community composting as we know it in the United States was born in New York as a result of the efforts of these organizations over decades. We’re proud to be supporting these vital teams who – through their long term commitment to raising awareness of the importance of keeping food out of landfills – have been an inspiration to us. A huge thank you to all the community leaders and experts who have been working round-the-clock to rally around this important work. If you would like to help, send us an email at nyccompost@mill.com. Together, we can stop throwing food in the trash.

You love to see it!"LAB RESULTS: We were smitten from the very first banana peel. The Mill is quiet and remarkably odor-free considering everything we tossed in, and it holds a lot. We think it's easy to use, sleekly designed, and a truly innovative approach to managing food waste."Thanks Good Housekeeping!
