Orbisk Secures $8 Million to Revolutionize Food Waste Management

We are thrilled to announce that Orbisk, the trailblazing start-up dedicated to creating a more sustainable food system, has successfully raised €8 million in its latest funding round. As a frontrunner in combating the alarming issue of food waste, which accounts for about one-third of all food produced globally, Orbisk’s innovative approach is significantly impactful, especially in the Netherlands, where hospitality organizations contribute to an astonishing 150 million kilos of waste each year. Our cutting-edge technology leverages advanced computer vision and artificial intelligence, embodied in a smart camera mounted above waste bins, which meticulously tracks food waste down to the ingredient level. With this integral solution, we provide hospitality organizations with deep insights into their food disposal practices, empowering them to cut their waste by an impressive 50%. The latest influx of funding will accelerate our mission and enhance our technology, ensuring that we can deliver even more effective solutions to our partners in the hospitality sector. In recognition of our innovative contributions, Orbisk has also been honored in LinkedIn’s 2024 Top Startups list in The Netherlands—an acknowledgment that fuels our drive for success. This funding milestone positions us strongly to lead the way in turning the tide on food waste, promoting efficiency, and advancing sustainability within the global food system. We are excited to embark on this next phase of growth and innovation, and we thank our investors for believing in our mission and vision. Together, we are working towards a greener future that benefits businesses, consumers, and the planet.
