[POSTPONED] - PDMA + Rescued Kitchen Event: Circular & Upcycled Food New Product Development

Join us for an inspiring and practical session exploring how circular thinking and upcycled ingredients are shaping the future of food innovation in New Zealand. Discover Rescued Bread Flour — an innovative, impact-driven ingredient transforming surplus bread into a viable substitution for traditional flour. This is more than a sustainability story; it’s a scalable solution to prevent bread waste while creating commercially viable new products. Come and taste the impact for yourself. Hear directly from: • Royce Bold, Co-founder of Rescued, chef, and creator of Rescued Bread Flour, as he shares the journey from food waste problem to product innovation. • Arturo Luna, Owner of Remarkable Tortillas, on partnering with Rescued to develop the world’s first upcycled tortilla wrap. Together, they’ll share the real-world opportunities for circular product development in New Zealand, what it takes to bring upcycled food innovation to market and the plans for scaling. We encourage attendees to submit questions ahead of the event to help shape the discussion and ensure we address the topics most relevant to you. If there’s something specific you’d like covered, whether it’s technical performance, commercialisation, supply chain, partnerships, or circular product development, please send your questions in advance to [email protected].
