Baked Tipsy is Taiwan's first food upcycling food tech social business.
Fueled by the growing demand for sustainable products, Baked Tipsy was born out of a realization: the issue of food waste is underrated, and there's a lack of awareness and solutions. Our mission is clear—to minimize food waste through innovative food and beverage products, with a specific focus on the waste generated by the baked goods and brewing industries. Hence, the name "Baked Tipsy" is a nod to our spirited commitment to this cause.
Our lineup includes a diverse range of sustainable products, from beer and granola to flour. By spanning various categories—beverages, snacks, and ingredients—Baked Tipsy aspires to be the bedrock of sustainable food and beverage options. We're not just a brand; we're the foundation for partners to craft their own versions of sustainable delights.
And the response has been heartening. Companies, foundations, and governments are choosing us for gifting, restaurants are making us their co-branding partners, and bakeries are opting for us as their ingredient substitute. It's not just about what we're making; it's about the movement we're inspiring—one where sustainability is the cornerstone of culinary innovation. -
How does your work address the 3 P’s (for Planet, for People, for Profit) for Sustainability?
Planet: Upcycling reduces food waste by taking ingredients that might have been discarded and turning them into something delicious. This helps minimize the environmental impact of food production and disposal. Plus, it can lead to fewer resources being used overall, making the planet breathe a little easier.
People: By creating tasty products from otherwise wasted ingredients, we contributes to raising awareness about food security, nutrition, and the benefits of choosing sustainable options. It's not just about providing food; it's about fostering understanding and consciousness in the community.
Profit: Sustainability doesn't have to be a sacrifice for businesses. In fact, it can be a selling point. Consumers are increasingly conscious of their environmental footprint, and supporting a business that actively works toward sustainability can be appealing. So, a food upcycling business isn't just good for the planet and people, by collaborating with different brands, we're inviting not only sustainability but also profit into collaborated businesses.
In a nutshell, our entire product line is developed in the hopes of reducing food waste, making sustainability available to all through food and beverage. -

Special Prize Question 1: Is there a mechanism in place to inherit culture and industry as assets for people living in that area 100 or even 1000 years from now?
-
Special Prize Question 2: What is the positive impact on biodiversity? Is the project creating a cycle not just from a human-centered perspective but for the entire ecosystem?
-
Special Prize Question 3: Are you enabling new forms of collaboration with others? New forms of collaboration might include cross-industry cooperation, co-creation with consumers, or role transformations within the supply chain.
What sets us apart from other food upcycling businesses worldwide is our unique perspective on our enterprise. While others focus on selling their products merely as commodities—a sustainable beer or a sustainable snack—we approach our business differently. We steer clear of being just another option in the food and beverage industry; instead, we integrate and collaborate seamlessly.
Rather than working in opposition to the market, we align ourselves with it. This involves close partnerships with various industries, both private companies and government entities. Our products serve as thoughtful gifts for private enterprises and government bodies, while restaurants and bakeries incorporate them as innovative ingredient substitutes.
We're hoping one day you will not have to choose between a strawberry cake or a sustainable cake, but you get to choose a sustainable strawberry cake. It's not about competing with existing options; it's about redefining the choices available, making sustainability an inherent part of the culinary landscape.
