INNAVI × eWater Systems: A Partnership for a Cleaner Future

We’re excited to share that eWater Systems has joined forces with INNAVI, a passionate leader in creating greener pathways for hospitality. This partnership is built on a mutual commitment to provide easy-to-adopt solutions that are good for people and the planet – helping venues remove harmful chemicals and plastics from kitchens, extend food shelf life, and reduce environmental impact. Sustainability can feel overwhelming, but as Kelly Steele, Head of Growth at INNAVI, reminds us that: “Sustainability can often feel overwhelming, and knowing where to start is a common challenge that’s why collaborations with like-minded companies is vital.” With eWater’s proven, quick-win technology we’re making that first step simple – and impactful from day one of implementation.

Quotes from Kelly Steele, Head of Growth at INNAVI
Creating greener hospitality pathways

Why did you start INNAVI?

Innavi evolved from a genuine passion for the hospitality industry and a desire to do better for the environment. We recognised the significant impact our sector has on the planet and wanted to work with food service businesses to find innovative ways to reduce their footprint.  

Our goal is to become the go-to hub for all things sustainability in hospitality, through accreditations like Food Made Good (FMG), audits, training, and knowledge sharing. Taking on the role of custodians for the Food Made Good Standard here in Australia was one of our first steps towards this vision.

As the only globally recognised sustainability accreditation specifically for the food service sector, FMG provides venues with a comprehensive view of their business and its impact.

It’s a powerful tool, knowing where you stand is the first step to understanding where you’re headed.

Why is the partnership with eWater important?

Our partnership with eWater is crucial to the success of Innavi and aligns deeply with our long-term goals. Sustainability can often feel overwhelming, and knowing where to start is a common challenge that’s why collaborations with like-minded companies is vital. We share core values and a passion for positive change with eWater which makes this partnership especially meaningful. 

eWater offers innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions that help food service businesses significantly reduce their chemical use and plastic waste. Their systems also support extending the shelf life of food, which directly contributes to lowering a venue’s overall environmental footprint, exactly the kind of impact we’re committed to achieving. This collaboration is a vital step toward building a more sustainable industry, and we’re excited to work together to make a real difference.

What do you imagine INNAVI will achieve over the next 5-10 years?

There is so much! The whole team is extremely dedicated to making a positive impact, but some of our top priorities are:

Creating a centralised hub of information where the industry can share knowledge and strategies to reduce its environmental impact.

Leading the industry’s move away from single use plastics and harmful chemicals as well as helping venues transition away from gas towards renewables.

Developing inclusive training programs tailored for all levels from apprentices to venue owners, empowering them with the knowledge and tools to act sustainably. 

Collaborating with local, state, and federal governments to devise initiatives that incentivise restaurants to ‘do the right thing’

Working with our partners to build a resilient and vibrant food ecosystem that values sustainability at every level, through reducing food waste and celebrating local producers.

Overall, our vision is for Innavi to be a major catalyst for positive, lasting change in the industry. Find out more about INNAVI
