Relocalize is decarbonizing and hyperlocalizing food & beverage manufacturing with distributed networks of fully autonomous hyperlocal micro-factories. RELO micro-factories produce fresher, greener, and more affordable packaged foods and beverages. They co-locate food production, packaging, and distribution in close proximity to distribution centers to achieve localized fulfillment. By eliminating unnecessary upstream trucking from production plants to retailers, the RELO system effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions, operating costs, and supply chain risks. Transporting products made primarily of water on trucks comes at a huge economic and environmental cost. 20% of the GHG footprint of food comes from transportation according to Nature Sustainability, much of it from middle mile trucking. While the majority focuses on replacing their traditional trucking fleets with electric vehicles, we are questioning the fundamental design of centralized food supply chains by pioneering a distributed, hyper-local food production system, with the aim of completely eliminating trucks and the chain. Recently, Relocalize made a groundbreaking achievement, launching the world's first autonomous food & beverage micro-factory in collaboration with Southeastern Grocers in Florida. The RELO system produces packaged ice hyper-locally on-demand, effectively eliminating 100% of upstream logistics and transportation. The result is fresher, better and more affordable ice with an impressive 90% reduction in transportation carbon emissions.
