This New York City-based women-owned business produces innovative fashion accessories that provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials. Founder Heather Jiang leads the company. Her mission is to bring creative sustainability practices to the fashion industry. Her company transforms discarded fruits such as apples, mangos, and pineapples, and recycled plastic into stylish and durable wallets, purses, backpacks, and other accessories. The company\u2019s goal to reduce food waste and greenhouse gas emissions, combined with Heather\u2019s detailed plan to leverage the grant to grow her company, convinced the selection committee to name her the Fund Her Future grand prize winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fashionably-tackling-food-waste\">Fashionably tackling food waste<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Heather Jiang reviews new product designs in the production factory\" class=\"wp-image-8105\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/M166960-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Heather&#8217;s products are as eco-friendly as they are beautiful. Characterized by clean, on-trend designs and resiliency comparable to genuine leather \u2014 the All\u00e9gorie brand resonates with many consumers. Her customers seek stylish, low-eco-impact products for their slow fashion lifestyle. She started All\u00e9gorie in 2019 after realizing the need to reduce food waste. Nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rts.com\/resources\/guides\/food-waste-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">40% of food produced in the U.S.<\/a> goes to waste. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2023\/03\/food-waste-makes-up-half-of-global-food-system-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food produced but not eaten<\/a> yearly adds 3.3 billion tons of greenhouse gases to the planet&#8217;s atmosphere.
