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.
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.
At REDUCED, our team combines the expertise of scientists and former culinary chefs to create innovative taste solutions that blend science with gastronomy.
