High-performance supplements made from discarded food waste

Founded in 2017, Nova Scotia-based Outcast aims to tackle food waste by diverting food from landfills. The company turns discarded fruit and vegetables into nutrient-dense food products.

Outcast’s food upcycling technology rescues imperfect, surplus or out-of-date produce from farms, food processors and supermarkets across Canada. The misfit produce is transported in cold trucks to keep the valuable micronutrients intact, before reaching their zero-waste facility.

Amongst its products is a line of Plant Strong protein powders and dietary supplements.
