Our Story-3

Founded in 2020 by lawyer Emil Munck de Voss and chef William Anton Lauf Olsen, REDUCED was born from a bold idea: turn food waste into extraordinary taste.

Together, they set out to transform these lost opportunities into sustainable, time-saving solutions for chefs and food developers. Using upcycled ingredients and fermentation, they’ve crafted versatile savoury taste solutions that redefine what’s possible in the kitchen.

Our Tech-1

 

REDUCED’s Waste to Taste (W2T) technology transforms food side streams into premium savoury solutions, reducing waste and creating clean-label ingredients. Using koji fermentation combined with other process steps, we create additive-free flavours in just three days, with 10 times less energy and up to 83% lower CO2 emissions.

To date, we’ve saved over 150 tonnes of food and proven our ingredients outperform conventional options in flavour and sustainability. With a growing European customer base, W2T shows how reducing food waste can drive carbon savings and transform the food industry.

Our Team-1

At REDUCED, our team combines the expertise of scientists and former culinary chefs to create innovative taste solutions that blend science with gastronomy. Our R&D and production teams ensure every product meets the highest standards of quality and performance, driven by technical precision and culinary creativity.
