Hello you! I’m Maria, the founder of Retaste Project.
Retaste’s story started in an unlikely place: inside a food factory.
As a Process Engineer working in the food industry, I witnessed firsthand the vast amount of edible resources discarded as “waste” or repurposed as animal feed, despite being perfectly suitable for human consumption.
This experience sparked my curiosity and led me to research the issue of food waste. I was shocked by the scale of the problem and the environmental and social impact it has on our society. The statistics are staggering, and the need for change is urgent.
This research journey led me to a key question: Where is the solution?
Food waste is a complex problem with no single answer, but I found part of the solution in upcycled foods. That’s why I created Retaste Project—to offer a practical, consumer-friendly way to make a difference.
And why bread? Because everyday actions, when done collectively, create the biggest impact.
Baking connects us with our resources and makes sustainability an effortless part of our routine. With our upcycled baking mixes—simple, nutritious, and climate-friendly—we turn food waste into delicious bread, proving that real change starts with our mindsets and at home.
At Retaste, our Mission is to create premium baking products that are nutritious, delicious, and convenient.
Our Goal is to help you stay healthy, empower you to reduce food waste, and support sustainability—all in one simple step.
Our work is guided by two core values:
Food waste isn’t just leftovers—it’s a crisis.
It’s responsible for 8% of global CO₂ emissions and squanders precious resources like water and energy.
Worse, once in landfills, food waste emits methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO₂.
Meanwhile, as demand for food rises, we’re throwing away massive amounts, deepening environmental damage and social inequality. Isn’t that ironic?!
So here is our message:
🌍 Wasting food = Wasting our future.
🧡 Our proposal: Less waste. More taste.
That’s the future we are fighting for.
Reducing food waste is one of the most effective solutions to combat climate change. So good news : everyone can make a difference!
Upcycling doesn’t just cut down food waste—it fuels a circular economy and inspires sustainable eating habits.
It’s about giving food a second chance and redefining what good really means.
With our products, we’re not just rethinking food—we’re rewriting the rules.
Ready to join us? Let’s turn waste into taste, together🙌.
