A Scientist Works to Change the Food System

A positive impact on the world

40% of the food grown in the United States ends up in the trash according to the USDA. This Food waste ends up in landfills, where it decomposes anaerobically, accounting for 23 percent of all US emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that exacerbates climate change. 

Maggie Seng Sadowsky started 8Track Foods to reinvent what she viewed as a dated commodity, and to make a better food system by creating premium basics. 

 

Eliminating Single Use Plastics

91% of plastic packaging ends up in our oceans and landfills. Tossing it into the bin isn't enough. 8 Track uses steel cans to make an impact by reducing the amount of single-use plastics. These cans are infinitely recyclable and get reclaimed in most waste streams because they are magnetic! How cool is that?

 

Premium Basics

Our mission is to make everything you need to eat better, and nothing you don’t. Currently offering fully organic black beans, chickpeas and kidney beans, that are non-GMO. The result is a product that sets the standard for a sustainable food system, not just a sustainable product. 

"We reduce waste at every point to keep our food supply on track and to give you the healthiest food for your family and the planet." - Maggie
