NETZRO's patent pending technology powers the safe capture and conversion of industrial food & beverage byproducts into new sustainable upcycled food ingredients at scale. We are in the upcycled food tech industry with a US market opportunity of processing 6 billion pounds of food byproduct each year. We power food producers using upcycled ingredients. Our customers have a problem with the large amounts of valuable byproducts that they pay to discard. An example is liquid egg processing plants, which is often tons per day and costs thousands of dollars. We solve their problem by processing the byproducts in NETZRO’s proprietary equipment. We are different because we include our customers in the revenue stream of selling these new upcycled ingredients. This gives them the potential to not only reduce their cost of disposal but to also make money. This model allows NETZRO to secure the byproduct for commercialization. NETZRO makes money by licensing its technology and charging a licensing fee based on a charge per pound processed at the source, and we make revenue on brokering the upcycled food ingredients. We have partners in two sectors for proof of concept, egg breaking facilities for calcium and collagen from eggshell recovery and breweries & distilleries for spent grain recovery. We have successfully processed large volumes and have sold the new upcycled ingredients from both sectors. Let’s move the Earth’s food forward together.

Relocalize is decarbonizing and hyperlocalizing food & beverage manufacturing with distributed networks of fully autonomous hyperlocal micro-factories. RELO micro-factories produce fresher, greener, and more affordable packaged foods and beverages. They co-locate food production, packaging, and distribution in close proximity to distribution centers to achieve localized fulfillment. By eliminating unnecessary upstream trucking from production plants to retailers, the RELO system effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions, operating costs, and supply chain risks. Transporting products made primarily of water on trucks comes at a huge economic and environmental cost. 20% of the GHG footprint of food comes from transportation according to Nature Sustainability, much of it from middle mile trucking. While the majority focuses on replacing their traditional trucking fleets with electric vehicles, we are questioning the fundamental design of centralized food supply chains by pioneering a distributed, hyper-local food production system, with the aim of completely eliminating trucks and the chain. Recently, Relocalize made a groundbreaking achievement, launching the world's first autonomous food & beverage micro-factory in collaboration with Southeastern Grocers in Florida. The RELO system produces packaged ice hyper-locally on-demand, effectively eliminating 100% of upstream logistics and transportation. The result is fresher, better and more affordable ice with an impressive 90% reduction in transportation carbon emissions.
