Kate Barlow,

April 1, 2025

In this week’s Best Possible Taste episode, I talk to Kate Barlow from Positive Carbon, a cutting-edge tech company making waves in the hospitality industry. Despite being a relatively new player, Positive Carbon is already helping businesses tackle one of the sector’s biggest challenges—food waste. Their technology provides real-time data to help restaurants, hotels, and catering companies significantly reduce waste, save money, and operate more sustainably.

During our conversation, Kate shares insights on how Positive Carbon is transforming the industry, why tackling food waste is more important than ever, and how technology is shaping the future of hospitality.
