About

Wastelink is an innovative Indian cleantech startup dedicated to transforming food waste into valuable resources, specifically nutritious animal feed. Founded in 2018 by Saket Dave and Krishnan Kasturirangan, the company addresses the growing problem of food surplus and waste from manufacturers, retailers, and food producers. Using advanced technology and AI-powered supply chain management, Wastelink collects, processes, and converts rejected or surplus food into high-quality feed ingredients under its flagship product, ECOMIX. This approach not only reduces landfill disposal and greenhouse gas emissions but also promotes a circular economy by giving surplus food a second life.

AI-Driven Food Upcycling Methods for Sustainable Animal Feed Production

Surplus Food Identification and Sourcing: Wastelink uses data-driven systems to identify surplus, rejected, or unsold food from manufacturers, retailers, and food producers, ensuring safe and suitable material for upcycling.
AI-Enabled Collection and Logistics: Advanced AI algorithms optimize collection routes, scheduling, and volumes, reducing transportation costs, minimizing emissions, and ensuring timely pickup of food surplus.
Quality Assessment and Segregation: Collected food is carefully inspected, segregated, and tested to remove contaminants, ensuring compliance with feed safety standards before processing.
Scientific Processing and Upcycling: Surplus food is processed using controlled drying, grinding, and formulation techniques to retain nutritional value while making it safe and shelf-stable as animal feed ingredients.
Nutritional Formulation and Blending: Processed inputs are nutritionally analyzed and blended into standardized feed ingredients like ECOMIX, ensuring consistent quality and balanced nutrition for livestock.
Traceability and Compliance Systems: Digital tracking and documentation provide end-to-end traceability, certification-ready records, and transparency for food producers, regulators, and feed manufacturers.
