We are raising a pre-seed round.
EvE Waste is building a modular bio-reactor that turns food waste into clean energy and nutrient-rich fertilizer, and a waste-tracking model that tells a site what it is throwing away. The prototype is built. The second stage of the bio-reactor and the model are what this round funds.
We are also applying for grants. Non-dilutive funding is part of the plan rather than a fallback, and the work it pays for is the same work.
The stage, stated plainly
A company at this stage is worth what it has built and what it knows. Here is both, without the gloss.
Done
- Two prototypes The AD system prototype and the waste hauling monitor prototype. Both are on the What We’ve Built page, in photographs rather than renderings.
- Test runs The AD system prototype is built and has been through test runs.
Not yet
- Bio-reactor, second stage of development The second stage of the build is the work in front of us now.
- Waste-tracking model, in development It reads what a site throws out and turns it into a report: where the waste comes from, what it costs, and what an organic waste mandate needs to see.
- No clients yet No clients, no revenue, and no client results anywhere on this site. When that changes, it will be stated here with the same directness.
What the round funds
-
The second stage of the bio-reactor
Taking the prototype forward into the next stage of its build. The specification that comes out of that work is what a host site is eventually quoted against, which is why no throughput, footprint or payback figure is published anywhere on this site yet.
-
The waste-tracking model
The software half of the company. It reads what a site throws out and turns it into a report the site can act on, and it is the part that can reach a site before a bio-reactor does.
The regulatory groundwork is already done, and it is public. Ohio permitting, digestate product status, air thresholds and the liquid fraction are worked through in the FAQ, with sources, because a site asks those questions before it asks about price.
The cost of doing nothing goes up every year
Average annual increase in landfill tipping and hauling rates
New economic value our process generates versus landfilling
EPA attributes 58% of the methane municipal landfills release to landfilled food waste, and estimates that 61% of the methane generated by landfilled food waste is never captured. Figures: EPA, 2020–2023 (landfill methane, Wasted Food Scale) and EREF, 2024 data.
How we handle numbers
Every figure on this site carries the basis it came from: Historical, Modeled, Industry data, or Measured. Nothing is published as Measured until something measures it. We have no clients, so there are no client results here, and there will not be any until there are clients. Where a number is missing, it is missing because it has not been measured yet, and that is the honest answer rather than the placeholder one.
- Historical
- Describes the past. Not a measurement of anything EvE Waste has done.
- Modeled
- A projection, labelled as one. It is not a client result.
- Industry data
- Taken from published industry figures rather than our own measurements.
- Measured
- Nothing yet. Nothing is published as Measured until something measures it.
