Carbiotix launches NutraCycle - a new upcycling service for food & beverage producers
Erik Deaner, CEO of Carbiotix, comments:
“I am thrilled to announce the launch of NutraCycle, Carbiotix’s new upcycling service for food & beverage producers. The decision to launch NutraCycle comes as a natural progression, driven by its evident benefits for food & beverage companies, Carbiotix and society in general. The upcycling of side stream products refers to the conversion of products that are typically considered waste or sold as animal feed into higher value feed, food, nutraceutical and cosmetic ingredients. For example, upcycling oat fiber from non-dairy oat milk production into CarbiAXOS.
The benefits for food & beverage companies are twofold. Firstly, it is a relatively low cost and low risk approach to generating new revenue streams and achieving higher pricing power for existing products. Secondly, it is an opportunity to upcycle side stream products into high value prebiotics that can be used to fortify existing products, develop new products, and be sold as an ingredient, as well increase the relative protein content and value of residuals. Carbiotix will provide support with regards to process design, operation and optimization, product development, the sale of ingredients and residuals, scientific validation and regulations, and financing solutions through partners if needed.
The benefits for Carbiotix are also multi-fold. Firstly, Carbiotix will have access to the largest segment of the now over 7 billion Euro prebiotics industry, namely; food and beverage related applications, through a competitive royalty structure based on the prebiotic product produced (1). Secondly, the financial risks for Carbiotix will be much lower as the Company will not need to deploy cap-ex thus allowing for quicker expansion. Thirdly, the Company will have access to a diversity of new and complementary prebiotic ingredients for direct sales that will improve the competitiveness of the CarbiAXOS ingredient portfolio for nutraceutical, cosmetic or adjuvant applications. Lastly, Carbiotix will be able to fully leverage the knowledge, development eco-system and infrastructure we have built up at lab-scale, pilot scale and through our technology and contract manufacturing partners.
From a societal perspective, the benefits are primarily twofold. Firstly, the NutraCycle service is a more efficient upcycling model from an economic, logistics and environmental standpoint as it is distributed and focused at the source of the side stream product and user of the upcycled ingredient. Secondly, the service will naturally lead to the prebiotic fortification of more existing and new food & beverage products, thus exposing more people to these products and hopefully leading to a healthier society.
I look forward to accelerate marketing and sales activities for NutraCycle, aiming to attract both large and small food & beverage producers interested in maximizing the value from their side stream products.
