Food-recycling system Mill broadens its offerings with a new solution for the workplace to turn food waste management into a measurable, cost-effective part of corporate decarbonization efforts

SAN BRUNO, Calif., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mill, the company behind the award-winning food recycling system, today announced Mill for Workplace, a business solution designed to help companies manage food waste at scale. By pairing its food recycler with new services—including enterprise fleet management software and AI-driven analytics—Mill is simplifying real estate operations and making food waste management a measurable, cost-effective decarbonization strategy for both large and small businesses. 

Mill’s entry into the workplace reflects growing demand for simple, efficient, and cost-effective ways to manage food waste at scale – helping businesses save thousands of dollars. Mill is already deployed in hundreds of offices, data centers, retail businesses, hotels, universities, and municipal buildings nationwide. Early customers include Vornado Realty Trust, a leading real estate investment trust that is rolling out Mill’s workplace solution to its tenants, and Duolingo, which integrates Mill’s system into its New York City office operations.

“Managing food waste doesn’t need to be hard,” said Matt Rogers, Cofounder and CEO of Mill. “Today around 30% of office trash is wasted food. By making it easy for companies and their employees to keep food out of the trash, Mill helps businesses simplify operations, reduce costs, and comply with local requirements to keep food out of the garbage. Mill is bringing the same efficiency and sustainability that’s transformed homes into the workplace, where the opportunity for impact is just as big.”

Mill for Workplace, now available for business customers, includes: 

Mill Food Recycler: The award-winning Mill food recycler quietly and odorlessly processes food scraps overnight, shrinking the volume of wasted food by up to 80% and reducing the need for daily janitorial or hauling services. Ease of use and educational tools ensure quick adoption by employees.

Enterprise Fleet Management Platform: A real-time analytics dashboard enables facilities and sustainability managers to monitor and manage food recycler operations across their entire footprint. Business leaders can track utilization and impact metrics, including the amount of food waste diverted and corresponding CO₂e emissions avoided.

AI-Enhanced Efficiency: Smart modeling techniques optimize run times and energy usage over time, ensuring continuous operational improvements.

Dedicated Account Management: Support and customization enables seamless integration of Mill into day-to-day operations, supporting corporate leaders from set-up and employee onboarding to ongoing management and engagement.

LEED and TRUE certification support: Mill can contribute towards achieving LEED certification for green buildings & TRUE certification for zero waste in workplaces. These certifications demonstrate that a building has met certain standards for responsible materials management and waste diversion. Attaining these kinds of certifications can deliver cost savings, increased property value, and a positive environmental impact.

Wasted food at work has traditionally been a costly and complex challenge that impacts efficiency, budgets, and decarbonization efforts: 

Operational burden: It’s estimated that more than a third of an office waste stream is food—which is wet, heavy, rots quickly and attracts pests—making office waste management particularly hard.

High costs: Companies are already spending an outsized portion of facilities management budgets on food waste. It drives the need for daily management of all office waste— forcing increased janitorial, hauling and pest control requirements—and costs large offices tens of thousands of dollars annually.

Lack of data: Food waste is difficult to tackle in an office environment and hard to measure, making it a missed opportunity for impact tracking and reporting. 

Mill for Workplace helps solve these challenges for businesses large and small by making it easy for companies and employees to separate food from the trash, and process scraps overnight into clean, dry grounds that don’t rot or smell. Mill reduces the need for costly services required when food is part of the garbage, and expands opportunities for businesses to participate in local composting or food recycling efforts—such as the case with Duolingo and NYC-based Reclaimed Organics.

“Mill has been an excellent solution for us at Duolingo,” said Curtis Nystrom, Senior Workplace Experience Manager at Duolingo. “The product helps us minimize the physical space taken up by a composting program. What really sets it apart is the real time waste reporting. We have shared monthly reports out with the office and our Duos get excited to participate in the program by increasing the percentage we divert month over month. Composting gamified!”

Mill’s enterprise expansion marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to keep food out of landfills by empowering businesses to take action in an easy, measurable way.

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
