Copia’s technology allows businesses to request pickups of their surplus food. Copia’s platform then dispatches a driver to pick up the donation and deliver it to a nonprofit in need. Businesses that partner with Copia benefit from significant tax savings; robust waste tracking analytics to help reduce future waste; and marketing materials to share environmental and community impact with employees and stakeholders. Copia has diverted more than 1 million pounds of edible food from landfills and distributed over $9M worth of food to local nonprofits. We’re on our way to feeding over 2 million people with great food that would have otherwise been wasted!
