Kaitlin Mogentale is a self-proclaimed food waste warrior and the founder of Pulp Pantry. Pulp Pantry transforms upcycled ingredients — the overlooked, nutritional byproducts of fruit and vegetable processing — into wholesome, better for people and better for the planet, snack staples. The brand's flagship product is a line of veggie chips reinvented, made from nearly 50% upcycled ingredients providing nearly a full day’s serving of fiber in each bag. Leveraging a unique sourcing model, in 2020 Pulp Pantry upcycled 50,000 lbs of fresh vegetables that would have otherwise gone to waste. Pulp Pantry launched in online retailers including Thrive Market, as well as West Coast retailers including Whole Foods Market and Target at the end of 2020.
