OAKLAND, CA – March 15, 2021 – To celebrate the 51st Earth Day, upcycled food company Renewal Mill and regenerative organic snack brand Moonshot brought together 10 sustainable food companies to offer the tastiest, most innovative, plant-based products in a single DTC snack box.
Debuting on March 16,2021, the “Ultimate Earth Day Snack Box” heavily features brands using upcycled ingredients (fighting food waste), regenerative organic ingredients (improving soil health, animal welfare, social fairness), and carbon sequestering ingredients (reducing nitrogen and ocean acidification). 7 of the 10 brands are also female-founded. The box will retail for $67.00 on Renewal Mill’s website, as well as on sustainable marketplace Zippy Pantry and on select participants’ websites. 5% of proceeds from the box will be donated to 350.org, an environmental organization building a global, grassroots movement to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all.
“Recognized as the largest secular observance in the world, Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to use delicious food as a tool to educate consumers on the important link between the food system and climate change,” said Claire Schelmme, CEO of Renewal Mill. “We can all snack our way to measurable impact.”
What's inside:
The ten brands will be hosting an Instagram and email newsletter giveaway on April 1st to give boxes to 3 lucky winners. Sales begin mid-March and will run through Earth Day 2021. More information and samples available to press upon request.

About Renewal Mill
Renewal Mill is an award-winning, next-generation ingredient company that fights climate change and global food loss by upcycling byproducts from food manufacturing into premium ingredients and products. We’re building a new circular economy of food that’s better for the people and the planet we love. Our flagship ingredient is organic okara, a high fiber, high protein, gluten-free flour made from the nutritious soybean pulp leftover when you make soymilk. We use the okara in a number of plant-based products including a vegan, soft-baked chocolate chip cookie, a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour, and a line of vegan “just add oil and water” baking mixes. We can be found in 150+ markets in California, online platforms like Thrive Market, Good Eggs, and FreshDirect, and at www.renewalmill.com. The company is led by two go-getter women: Caroline Cotto currently serves as Board President of the Upcycled Food Association and Claire Schlemme was named a 2020 Tory Burch Fellow.
