Lots of people like to get saucy with their food.
For some, eating french fries is unfathomable without something to dip them into, whether it’s ketchup, BBQ sauce, or even mayonnaise. According to analysts at KBV Research, the global market size for ketchup alone could reach $24.1 billion by 2028.
Unfortunately, our love of sauces comes at a steep environmental price. Most come in plastic bottles or, worse, unrecyclable single-serve sachets. Moreover, condiments like ketchup take up weeks of space in the refrigerator, getting gnarly until ultimately tossed out, adding to food waste. Condiments like BBQ and hot sauce are nearly all liquid, meaning that heavy bottles containing mostly water get shipped all over the globe, consuming fuel and adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
