Biorefinery for Agri-food sidestreams

Food waste accounts for 6%-8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions (World Wildlife Fund 2023), and is in need of innovative solutions. 

Lignocellulosic biomass constitute a majority of agri-food byproducts. At Biophyter, we are converting these plant-based byproducts into value-added ingredients for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries using green chemistry.
