Oru Collective was built on a simple idea: food waste shouldn’t be wasted potential.

Founded by Thomas Walpole, Oru Collective is a new-generation food waste collection business with big ambitions and an even bigger responsibility - to help businesses cut waste, cut emissions, and be part of a cleaner, more circular future.

We exist to make food waste collection smarter, easier, and genuinely sustainable. No unnecessary complexity. No half-measures. Just efficient systems, transparent processes, and a commitment to doing things properly — for our customers and for the planet.

Our mission is to go big and green. That means scaling responsibly, investing in low-impact operations, and turning food waste into something useful, whether that’s energy, compost, or long-term environmental gains. We believe sustainability shouldn’t be a luxury or a headache; it should be built into everyday business.

At Oru Collective, we work with forward-thinking businesses that want more than a bin collection. They want a partner. Someone who understands their operations, helps them reduce waste at the source, and supports their environmental goals as they grow.

We’re early in our journey — but our direction is clear.
Less waste. More impact. A collective effort toward a greener future. Learn more
