The Spent Goods Company is a Canadian company on a mission to reduce food waste and promote sustainability through circular economy solutions. Based in Ontario, the company partners with local craft breweries to repurpose their spent barley grains and use them to make nutritious and delicious baked goods. This helps to circulate, if not all, at least some of the 16 million kilograms of spent grains generated by Ontario’s breweries. 

By creating financial incentives for companies to upcycle food waste, Spent Goods reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps to strengthen the local economy. Their approach proves that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand by turning waste into valuable, locally made products. Customers in Ontario can find their products both online and in physical stores.
