    The Center for EcoTechnology innovates, implements, and scales the environmental solutions that communities need to thrive. Through Rethink Food Waste NY we provide free assistance to businesses across the state to support the development of a vibrant marketplace to divert wasted food from New York's commercial and institutional sectors.  Working with New York businesses, municipalities, organic recyclers, food relief organizations, and others we identify prevention, recovery, and diversion solutions, seamlessly integrating them into existing operations.
