Why we Care
At LiquiDonate, we’re building an ecosystem of trusted partners through our donors and recipient networks, making circularity an easy choice over disposal. Collaboration with our partners is key to make this new system successful: solving the problem of unsellable inventory by matching goods with organizations in need. We’re working with brands who really believe in making a better impact, and fortunately with our tech they can also benefit from cost savings and emissions reductions.
