Company history
MY NAME IS Luke Dynes
I started recovering crop by-products in 1999 for reuse as animal feed as a partner in Pacific AG Solutions. While building that company I got to see a real need in many industries for the same sort of mentality focused on reuse and upcycling. In 2011 I ventured out to start Wyatt Enterprises, LLC to start helping the food processing plants in the Columbia basin of Washington, drive value out of the by-products they create during the processing of fresh vegetables. Today Wyatt is servicing 27 processing plants ranging from wineries to Onion facilities and everything in between. In 2018 I had the idea to create a better process to recover packaged food and drive a upcycled value out of it as well, at this point Addie’s Alternative was born to be a better alternative for food waste. Now by 2021 we are looking at our 2nd and 3rd facilities in the northwest dedicated towards food upcycling. As you may have gathered I enjoy the challenge of establishing new industries out of materials that are otherwise referred to as waste.
We are your one stop for all steps required to build a sustainable recovery/upcycling process for your outdated or out of spec packaged food!
We handle the entire process in house, from scheduling the trucking to pick up at your location clear through the disposal/recycling of the none organic material after food is removed. We understand that each supplier has a different set of needs so we are more than willing to accommodate special requests of equipment and all paperwork needed to make this process easy on our customers.
How the process works:
Supplier schedules a meeting with Addie’s to evaluate the material that is in need of being upcycled. We will then find the appropriate most valuable use for the food in the food chain. Next we evaluate the de-packaging options with the supplier according to the markets that we will selling finished product back to. These markets range from the pet food industry clear down to the soil amendment industry depending on the organic make up of the material. We are capable of handling dry goods, liquids, and fresh goods. In all packaging types from boxes to bags from glass to plastic containers.
