Tokenise what comes in
Every supplier invoice mints a RAW token on Hedera — one kilogram, one unit. Your pantry becomes an on-ledger balance, aligned to your procurement cycle.

Weigh what the kitchen leaves behind.
Restaurants throw away about fifteen percent of what they buy. Nobody can verify the numbers, so nobody gets paid for doing better. Peel derives each kitchen's waste from the invoices and till data they already keep — then an independent agent mints tradable credits to the twenty-five percent with the lowest waste rate. Every step runs on a public ledger. Anyone can re-check the math.

The plumbing already exists
Peel reads the till data your kitchens already log.
Every restaurant rings sales through a point-of-sale system — the tablet or touchscreen where the waiter taps in your order. That till already knows what was sold, when, and at what price. Peel meets the kitchen where it is. No new hardware. No double entry. No workflow to teach.
920,000
tonnes of food are wasted every year by UK restaurants, pubs and caterers. Three quarters of it is avoidable — and almost none of it is counted at the point it's thrown away.
— WRAP · Overview of waste in the UK hospitality & food service sector
The method
Waste is derived,
not reported.
A kitchen can't lie about waste if the numbers come from the books it already keeps. Invoices in, POS out, standard recipes in between. The residue tells the truth.
02
Back-calculate the menu
Every POS sale maps to a standard recipe — kilograms per dish, drawn from CoFID. Units sold × kg per unit = theoretical consumption, reconciled against your purchases.
● COOKED · POS × recipe

Top quartile earns
Residual = purchased − cooked. The Regulator Agent ranks every participating kitchen each period and mints credits to the top 25%. No forms. No gaming. Donated food is excluded from the calculation.

The period close
Ranked by a regulator, not by you.
At period close, a Regulator Agent queries every participating kitchen's HCS log, ranks them by waste rate, and mints credits only to the top quartile — proportional to how far below the cutoff you fall.
- Two Hedera operators: Kitchen + Regulator
- Kitchen logs invoices and POS events; Regulator ranks and mints
- Every kilogram traceable on public mirror nodes

Why it pays
Kitchens pay zero.
The programme pays the top quartile.
Peel is public-good infrastructure. The programme operator sets the specs, funds the credit pool, and publishes the rules. We provide the ledger no one has to trust, because anyone can verify it.
Top 25% earns, every period.
The programme mints tradable REDUCTION_CREDIT tokens to the top-performing quartile each procurement cycle, proportional to how far below the cutoff you land. Cash-convertible through the platform.
Programme-issued · Guardian-readyThe programme is the disclosure.
Built to plug into Defra's emerging mandatory reporting framework under the Environment Act 2021. Compliance becomes a side-effect of participating.
Environment Act 2021The ledger shows which shelf is bleeding.
Not kilograms — pounds. Period one, every period after.
First-period paybackA ledger your buyers can already read.
Hotel groups, universities and contract caterers are on the hook for supply-chain emissions. A public programme ledger lets them cite your performance without a single site visit.
CSRD + SBTi alignedThe stack we fit into
Peel is one piece of a bigger food-waste stack.
Consumers shop surplus. Charities redistribute. Scales weigh the bin. Researchers set the standards. Peel adds the layer none of them can: a verifiable measurement of waste at the kitchen level, derived from records the kitchen already keeps.
Illustrative ecosystem alignment — not a claim of paid partnership.
Selling the last-hour tray.
Apps that turn surplus into discounted meals for the people around the corner.

Why Hedera?
The ledger food supply chains actually need.
Kitchens buy from dozens of suppliers across borders, settle hundreds of invoices a month, and need every transaction auditable. That rules out most chains — and most banks.
Supplier payments that clear, not float.
Cross-border ingredient orders shouldn't mean 2–5 day settlement windows and opaque intermediary fees. Tokenised transfers finalize in seconds.
3–5s
finality, not business days
Fixed fees, not gas-price roulette.
Kitchens log dozens of waste events per week. On volatile-fee chains that's an unpredictable cost. Hedera's fees are flat and negligible.
~$0.001
per transaction, fixed
Carbon-negative by design.
A food-waste platform should practise what it preaches. Hedera's hashgraph consumes a fraction of proof-of-work energy and offsets the rest.
