Welcome to the Open Sauce project

It’s great to see you here!

At Open Sauce we are on a mission to create a fair, regenerative and connected food system for Victoria. As a collective of food social enterprises we are reducing and diverting our collective waste from landfill to turn these precious resources into both edible and non-perishable products. Think about how much more you’ll enjoy products knowing they help reduce landfill, greenhouse gas emissions and support the social change at the heart of our collective mission!

Want to get involved?  We have created a collection of waste-less recipes, tips and tools to help you get started on your journey to reduce waste at home or in your business. Find a selection of our resources, including how to do a waste audit. We also worked with Victoria University students on parts of this project.

Keep up to date by following #OpenSauceVic on socials.
