Orbisk

Orbisk is a pioneering start-up on a mission to transform the world's food system into a more sustainable model by tackling one of the most significant challenges of our time: food waste. Utilizing advanced technology, Orbisk provides professional kitchens with a comprehensive solution for monitoring and minimizing food waste. Presently, approximately one-third of all food produced globally is wasted, with the hospitality sector alone contributing to the loss of around 150 million kilos annually in the Netherlands. Orbisk's innovative approach leverages developments in computer vision and artificial intelligence to create a smart camera system that can accurately record food disposal at the ingredient level.

The camera, integrated with a waste bin and scale, automatically catalogues the type and amount of food being discarded. This data is then presented in a user-friendly dashboard, empowering kitchen staff to reduce waste by up to 50 percent. Orbisk's commitment to sustainability not only enhances operational efficiency but also addresses critical environmental issues, such as reducing carbon emissions and conserving water resources. By creating smarter purchasing processes and optimizing meal compositions based on waste data, Orbisk contributes to the profitability of kitchens while championing eco-friendly practices. With a vision to achieve a food waste-free future, Orbisk engages with clients to establish a community that shares insights, success stories, and strategies aimed at eliminating food waste.
