The volume of food waste and the compounded loss of resources for each and every fruit and vegetable that isn't "retail perfect" is staggering when you multiple the losses across the category. Fortunately, there is a new breed of entrepreneurs tackling food waste through upcycling, a commercial endeavor to reuse food that doesn't meet the rigorous retail standards, but by other measures is perfectly suitable for consumption.
Meet imPASTA! Foods Company and the senior leadership team with a vision and mission big enough to solve a portion of the food waste puzzle. 
Donya Litowitz, CEO and co-founder, a Forbes #1000 honoree teamed up with Peter Mead, CSO to commercialize the benefits of Spaghetti Squash and upcycle the nearly 60% of waste in their harvest. 
Discover the upcycling business model into FoodService, Club, Retail, and Meal-kits.
