(RTTNews) - Tuesday, Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), along with and Mill Industries Inc., announced an innovation to Whole Foods Market stores, aiming to turn fruit and vegetable scraps into a nutrient-rich chicken feed ingredient.
The waste will be recycled using Mill Commercial, a new, automated, high-capacity food recycling infrastructure. Later, the chicken feed ingredient will be sent to Whole Foods Market's private-label egg suppliers.
"Utilizing Mill's intelligent, connected, and distributed infrastructure helps customers reduce food waste, scale a more circular supply chain, and achieve greater operational efficiency," said Thomas Selby, Investor at the Amazon Climate Pledge Fund.
