Wheyward Spirit Founder & CEO Emily Darchuk was named as a 2026 Waste360 40 Under 40. This recognition celebrates rising leaders making an impact across the waste, recycling, and organics industries, and we’re proud to see Emily recognized among an inspiring group of innovators helping shape a more sustainable future. From day one, Wheyward Spirit has been rooted in the belief that waste can be reimagined as opportunity by transforming excess whey into premium spirits while challenging conventions within BevAlc and the food system.
