“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Thank you Earth First for the interview with our cofounder and CFO, Elliott Bennett! We’re so proud to have his leadership at Ecotone.👏
🌱 Next up, meet Elliott Bennett, the Co-founder and Chief Financial Officer of Ecotone Renewables. Ecotone Renewables is on a mission to eliminate food waste through climate-smart practices. Founded in Pittsburgh, PA, Ecotone Renewables is scaling anaerobic digestion technology to sustainably process food waste and convert it into renewable hashtag #energy and organic liquid hashtag #fertilizer. Curious what a world without waste looks like? Tune into this edition to discover what carbon-negative fertilizer is, its impact, and its potential. 💡 Fun Fact: Globally, 30-40% of all produced food is wasted ($1.61B annually) 💼 Snapshot of Elliott: 👉 Earned his B.S. in Philosophy, Marketing and Finance from Boston College 👉 Worked as a Treasury Analyst at Bank of America This was a fun conversation, from hearing about his back-to-back summers leading sales at CUTCO Cutlery, forging a new path crowdfunding a startup with his childhood best friend, and his positive outlook on having an open climate conversation. Inspired by his mom, Elliott shares: “Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.” 🚀 Join us as we delve into Elliott’s story of balancing passion projects with a corporate job, the internal dilemma of prioritizing one's passion, and the journey of building impact fertilizer that diverts 90 pounds of CO2 emissions with each gallon of carbon-negative organic fertilizer produced. This was full of many laughs—tune in! #EarthFirst #Startup #ClimateTech

I just want to give a quick shout-out to Ecotone Renewables. It's great to see Ecotone co-founder and COO Kyle Wyche featured as the homepage background photo on Reimagine Jobs, a sustainability recruiting company in the Pittsburgh, PA, US, area. You know you're doing something right when other organizations will spread your brand for you.

Proud of our CFO, Elliott Bennett & CEO, Dylan Lew, EIT and proud to have our first retail presence in Chicago! Have a store in mind to sell Soil Sauce? Reach out! 🌱♻️
Yesterday Dylan Lew, EIT and I flew into Chicago to present Ecotone Renewables to Evergreen Climate Innovations’ investment committee. I am happy to share we were 1 of just 4 companies chosen to pitch to the group. A special thank you to the comittee for their insightful questions and to the investment team on their diligence. Right after our pitch, we stopped by The Unwaste Shop and are excited to have them as our first #Chicago retail location for Soil Sauce. If you know a plant store, nursery or garden shop that you think #soilsauce should be at, please let us know!

Excited to share photos from the Earth Day Symposium at Bryant University and official launch of our sixth ZEUS digester! 🌎 Earth Day is a celebration of our planet as much as it is a reminder of the work we have left to do to protect it. This year, Elliott Bennett and Olivia Krause spent the day in discussions around the intersection between innovation, indigenous knowledge, humanitarianism and environmental health. Our team left feeling inspired by presenters like Robert Patalano, Jason E. Dodier and Loren Spears. Thank you Taylor V. for organizing an event focused on such important work.👏

Olivia Krause and I had a great time today at the Eden Prairie AM Rotary #EcoExpo, sharing the work we do at Ecotone Renewables. A special thank you to Lori Thrune for inviting us and all those we met today who are passionate about #zerowaste and #closingthefoodloop. As we expand our footprint across the U.S., we're looking to #hire a PR firm or consultant with experience working with sustainable companies and organizations. Please reach out if you know someone who would be a good fit!

Wonderful seeing our work highlighted in the Boston Globe Media article below!

We are excited to expand this local impact together ♻ https://lnkd.in/e6q_Evqr
Colleges are reducing food waste through composting. Rhode Island cities and towns should, too.
