Tackling Food Waste with Craft Beer | CRUST | Jim Huang

Talking with Jim Huang about the CRUST startup now in Japan to reduce food waste, collaborate with businesses around Japan to improve their sustainability and create great upcycled products along the way.

Crust was originally launched in Singapore in 2019 and now starting in Japan in 2020. Startup originally started by founder Travin Singh who studied home brewing techniques from YouTube and excited about the idea of using old bread as a part of the process. He traveled to London and 11 breweries in California before making some of his own in Singapore in 2019.

The use of disused bakery bread is able to make up 30-50% of the grains needed for good craft beers. In this talk, Jim Huang, shareholder and CFO at CRUST talks about the features of sustainability in place and entering the Japanese craft beer scene.
