About Divert

Divert is a cleantech company providing customers with a clean and efficient solution to organic waste. In the U.S. 1 out of every 6 Americans is food insecure. Meanwhile, 1 out of every 7 trucks of fresh food delivered to a grocery store is either landfilled or recycled. This further results in a massive impact on the environment where 25% of all freshwater consumed, 21% of all US farmland utilized and 500 million barrels of oil are wasted. We are aggressively solving the food crisis. As the leading provider of unsold food solutions to major retailers in the U.S., Divert is positioned to fundamentally change the way unsold food is managed. Divert’s technologies allow entire retail chains to measure and eliminate wasted food, while offering cutting-edge energy and nutrient recovery solutions. Divert maintains a fast-paced and collaborative office environment with a culture valuing technology, innovation, and work-life balance.
