Emerging Trends in Food Waste Innovation [ReFED Learning Labs]

Join us for our next Learning Lab webinar, where we’ll be taking a deep dive into how food waste innovation is evolving in 2026 and what that means for solution providers navigating adoption and growth!

We’ll explore which food waste solutions are gaining traction, where momentum is building, and why some models are facing barriers to wider adoption. Our panel will share data-informed perspectives on the technologies, implementation approaches, and organizational models shaping the next phase of food waste reduction.

If you’re building, piloting, or scaling a food waste solution, this session will offer perspective on where the ecosystem is headed and greater clarity on how adoption patterns are evolving.
