Introduction: From Desert Waste to Regenerative Soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the UAE, food waste soars past 30% in normal periods and up to 60% during Ramadan<\/strong>. Enter ReLoop<\/strong>, a climate-tech solution founded in 2021 by Youssef\u202fChehade and Mohammad\u202fAbdulmoti, built on the slogan \u201cas easy as ordering food online<\/em>.\u201d Households and businesses schedule food-waste pickup via the app and receive compost\u2014or \u201cbrown gold\u201d<\/strong>\u2014instead of landfill emissions. This initiative works hand-in-hand with ne\u2019ma<\/strong>, the UAE\u2019s National Food Loss and Waste Initiative and the UAE Food Bank<\/strong>, ensuring leftover food is rescued or composted in meaningful ways.
