Ozarka

De Haal 117 C, Oostzaan, Noord-Holland, 1511 AP, Netherlands

Overview

Ozarka develops reusable food packaging and end-to-end services (zero-waste delivery, logistics, and commercial food service) to replace single-use containers in professional catering and takeaway. The company operates as a B2B provider serving corporate and professional catering, stadiums, office parks, events and festivals, food halls, food courts, and delivery. Ozarka sources containers from European manufacturers that are durable (rated up to 1,000 uses), dishwasher-safe, leak-proof, stackable and gastronomy-compatible. The company measures impact with life-cycle assessment tools, tracking reductions in material waste, food waste, CO2, and logistics emissions. Ozarka emphasizes a hyperlocal supply chain and charges fees for container use, positioning pricing to be resilient to raw-material and international supply-chain volatility. Financially, the business was bootstrapped by founder Beth Massa early on and has since raised a €240K Pre-Seed and a €500K Seed to advance operations.
