Impact
Over 14 billion pounds diverted from landfill every year
Denali routes food and organics to the highest value recycling path, making a complex process simple and reliable.
Depackaging technology
Drives deeper diversion
Depackaging cleanly separates hard to recover food from its packaging so it can be put to beneficial reuse. For many businesses, it is what makes food waste diversion possible at scale.
Possible
45+ depack locations across the U.S. give customers access to packaging separation they could not do on their own.
Practical
Zero hours spent sorting food or separating packaging, reducing labor, handling steps and safety issues.
Impactful
Customers moving from manual separation to a depack program have increased diverted food volume by 70% on average.
Following the EPA Wasted Food Scale
Highest value use first
Prevent wasted food, then donate or upcycle what is still edible. Denali’s depack service opens up more donation and upcycling opportunities.
What remains is routed through Denali’s specialized outlets to feed animals, compost or anaerobic digestion, and land application, keeping it out of the drain, the landfill and the incinerator.
