    This episode is trash

    Matt Rogers, co-founder of Nest and CEO of Mill, explains how his new company tackles food waste by dehydrating scraps in a kitchen bin and returning them to farms via mail. Rogers argues that anaerobic decomposition in landfills generates potent methane, making diversion critical for climate goals. Mill’s system shrinks waste volume, eliminates odors, and allows consumers to save on municipal trash fees while keeping food in the circular economy. The company is launching nationwide in the US, targeting both direct-to-consumer adoption and municipal partnerships to achieve zero-waste goals.
