Innovative and sustainable process
With our innovative process, we recover plant by-products from food processors, ensuring that the entire by-product management follows the optimal standards for a food product.
Theby-products undergo an environmentally friendly three-stage upcycling process, resulting in the generation of new raw materials and products with increasing value.
The first level
Stabilisation into functional circular flours

Using a low-temperature drying process, we quickly remove water without degrading the most delicate compounds such as flavourings and antioxidants, resulting in high-quality vegetable flours.
The second level
Extraction of bioactive compounds and fibres

A portion of our flours continues the production process and undergoes physical-mechanical extraction, with a patented green-chemistry process, to obtain fibres and bioactive compounds.
The third level
Creation of biodegradable polymers

One of our long-term goals is to use our natural extracts to create biodegradable,edible food coatings and films that can increase the shelf-life of freshproduce
