Welcome to the Crowd Sauce project

It’s great to see you here!

After a successful two years of our waste-saving project, Open Sauce*, the Moving Feast team are delighted to be expanding the project for another year. Crowd Sauce* will see even more waste mapped at the Queen Victoria Markets using our established waste audit, and turned into circular products at the Purpose Precinct**.

*Open Sauce and Crowd Sauce are both projects supported by Sustainability Victoria and the Victorian Government’s Circular Economy Business Support Fund as part of the Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre (CEBIC).

**The Purpose Precinct is a collaborative project, led by STREAT, Good Cycles and supported by SENVIC. Its home is in the F sheds at the Queen Victoria Markets, where people can shop exclusively from Victorian social enterprises. You can also purchase with purpose online via the website.

“Nothing is off the table in terms of what we can try out to make the most of our waste.”
