Chomp Energy (Accelerator)

Company Description: 40% of the food supply in the U.S. is wasted. All of that waste is being transported, burned, and buried at huge expense, resulting in a carbon footprint greater than that of the entire global airline industry. With Chomp, food goes in, energy comes out. Chomp turns would-be food waste into renewable energy using a biological process that doesn’t involve landfills or incineration. Inedible food goes into a self-contained vessel. Energy and biofertilizers come out—and nothing gets wasted in the process. It's a living system that’s inspired by and supports nature.
