The second bubble of 2023 sustainable startup of the day is a smart trash bin. Matt Rogers, who founded Nest with Tony Fidel back in 2010, Google bought Nest for $3.2 billion in 2014. He went on to co-found another startup called Mill Industries with a guy named Harry Tanabam. And they just released Mill's own home device that decreases food waste. It will dry the food out, neutralize the odor with charcoal, grind food scraps overnight and use it to feed chickens.
