Daniel Morash
Founder
California Safe Soil, LLC (CSS)
Bio:
Dan founded California Safe Soil, LLC (CSS) to find beneficial ways to recover food from supermarkets for beneficial use in organic fertilizers and petfood ingredients. Unlike alternative technologies, like anaerobic digestion and composting (which allow food to rot and ferment) this technology – enzymatic digestion – captures the nutrient value of recovered food. CSS raised the venture capital to build a pilot plant in West Sacramento, California in 2012, followed by a commercial scale plant in McClellan, California in 2016. After years of successful R&D, CSS expects to scale up its technology significantly over the next year. Dan was previously global head of energy and infrastructure finance for CIT, with a team of 40 professionals in New York, Toronto and London, with a focus on technologies for the adaptive reuse of waste. Dan received his MBA in Finance from the Tuck school at Dartmouth College in 1979, and his BA from Yale University in 1977.

Solution Provider Showcase 4 | Byproducts to Brilliance: Solutions for Transforming Food Waste
Showcase
Be prepared to be inspired! Our Solution Provider Showcases feature inventive presentations, thought-provoking discussions, and opportunities to forge connections with like-minded individuals passionate about creating positive change in the food waste sector.
Food manufacturing often results in the creation of byproducts that end up being sent to landfill. But there are a number of emerging solutions that can transform these inputs into valuable materials and products that solve sustainability challenges for other industries. In this session, presenters will illustrate the transformative power of circular solutions in bolstering sustainability across multiple sectors.
