We're thrilled to announce that LiquiDonate has been chosen as one of the 12 semi-finalists for Accelerate at Circularity '24! This recognition highlights our dedication to advancing the circular economy through innovative technology.
Accelerate is a coveted pitch competition that takes place at the GreenBiz Circularity Conference each year. It is renowned for spotlighting entrepreneurs who are spearheading scalable solutions that create a more sustainable future. From compostable menstrual pads to innovative crop input solutions, the semi-finalists represent a diverse array of industries and innovations. As a female-led startup, we're truly honored to be among this esteemed group!
Accelerating Towards a Circular Economy
At LiquiDonate, our mission is clear: to accelerate the transition to a circular economy through scalable technology solutions. Approximately 80% of returns are currently landfilled. By matching excess items from brands with underfunded nonprofits and schools, our platform reduces landfill waste while helping communities in need. Additionally, LiquiDonate helps brands cut costs, tell a positive ESG story, and address Scope 3 emissions all through a singular software solution.
Scope 3 emissions, often the largest portion of a company's carbon footprint, encompass indirect emissions from sources outside of a company's control, such as transportation, waste disposal, and supply chain activities. By partnering with LiquiDonate, companies can seamlessly donate their excess and unsellable inventory, thereby reducing waste and the associated emissions.
Looking Ahead
As semi-finalists for Accelerate, we're grateful to GreenBiz for providing a platform that amplifies the voices of early-stage startups committed to circularity. While we await the selection of finalists for the pitch competition, we're honored to be part of a community driving positive change. The finalists will give their pitch on the global stage of Circularity '24, taking place in Chicago, IL from May 22nd to May 24th, where votes will determine the ultimate winner.
A huge thank you to each of our partners and friends who enthusiastically believe in and support our mission. We hope you'll help us celebrate this incredible milestone by sharing this blog with your network and tagging @LiquiDonate on any social platform.
