Edible surplus → recovery
Recover suitable food before it becomes waste.
Prepared and packaged surplus moves to approved Nonprofit Partners for same-day recovery, with receipt confirmed at the point of transfer.
Enterprise food recovery & diversion infrastructure
The system of record for enterprise food recovery and diversion.
Savur connects food operations, recovery, diversion, nonprofit and upcycle networks, evidence, reporting, and community impact in one governed enterprise record.

Why Savur
The pressure to document recovery is already here.
Most organizations cannot prove where their surplus went, how much moved, or what it was worth. Estimates leave donation documentation, sustainability evidence, and community impact reporting exposed at exactly the moment leadership, auditors, and partners ask for it.
Savur replaces reconstruction with a governed record — captured at the source, verified at every handoff, and reported from approved data.

Enterprise operating environments
Built for where surplus actually happens.
High-volume, multi-site, time-sensitive food operations — the environments where recovery is hardest to coordinate and hardest to prove.
Stadiums & Arenas
Concessions, suites, and multi-venue operations with post-event surplus that must move in hours.
Foodservice & Distribution
Commissaries, routes, and recurring surplus inventory across regional networks.
Airports & Major Events
Terminals, concerts, festivals, rodeos, and state fairs — temporary, high-volume operations inside tight windows.
Retail & Grocery
Prepared foods, bakery, and produce across store networks with daily recovery activity.
Campuses, Hospitals & Hospitality
Corporate dining, institutional programs, universities, properties, banquets, and convention venues.
Recovery + diversion
Two pathways. One enterprise standard.
Edible surplus and inedible material follow different routes — and both are documented to the same standard of evidence.
Inedible material → diversion
Divert unavoidable waste through approved pathways.
Material that cannot be eaten routes to Upcycle Partners for compost and livestock-feed pathways — recorded by stream, never left off the record.
The Savur evidence layer
Four stages. One continuous record.
Each stage captures what the next one depends on — which is why the documentation at the end is defensible rather than reconstructed.
Stage 01
Log at the source
Staff log surplus in seconds from the dashboard or a Donation QR — before it can be miscounted or lost.
Stage 02
Route automatically
Edible surplus dispatches for same-day recovery; the rest routes to upcycle, compost, and animal-feed channels.
Stage 03
Verify the handoff
Nonprofit Partners confirm receipt by Fulfillment QR, and weights reconcile at the point of transfer.
Stage 04
Generate the record
Donation acknowledgments, diversion reports, and impact records are generated from verified activity.
Sustainability & ESG relevance
From documented diversion to credible climate evidence.
Verified weights, pathway records, timestamps, and source IDs create a defensible foundation for sustainability reporting, Scope 3 conversations, and future methodology assessment — without presenting modeled outcomes as verified facts.
Phase 01
Preview
Model the impact of diverted surplus against EPA WARM factors before anything is claimed.
Phase 02
Evidence
Preserve pathway, baseline, source, and factor-version lineage alongside the operational record.
Phase 03
Readiness
Prepare records for independent methodology assessment and third-party review. Credits are never automatic or guaranteed.
The recovery network
Every role in the chain, on one record.
Verified data flows through every participant — each with a purpose-built workspace and role-based access. Nonprofit and upcycle partners keep the systems they already run; Savur documents the chain between them.
Business Donor
Logs surplus at the source and receives verified donation and sustainability records.
Nonprofit Partner
Confirms receipt, verifies weights, and distributes to the community.
Upcycle Partner
Transforms recoverable material and captures yield evidence for compost and feed pathways.
Sponsor Impact Partner
Funds programs and the last mile; receives documented impact reporting.
Savvi Member
Invite-only, dignity-first household food access through a trusted nonprofit.
Programs on the same record
Where recovered food meets the community.
Food access that meets households with dignity.
Approved households request pickup or delivery through trusted nonprofit partners — invite-only, private, and simple by design.
Fund programs. See exactly where it goes.
Sponsor Impact Partners underwrite approved nonprofit programs and last-mile delivery — with documented program activity and community outcomes reported back.
Community + planetary impact
Two outcomes, documented from the same verified activity.
Community impact
- Households reached and communities served, tied back to verified weights
- Nonprofit program activity documented, not estimated
- Sponsor-funded deliveries reported on completion
Planetary impact
- Landfill diversion recorded by stream, including compost and feed
- EPA WARM-aligned estimates with source and factor-version lineage
- Records prepared for independent methodology review
The public campaign
