We provide the food industry with the technology to produce more food from the same resources.

Maximum Protein, Minimum Footprint! Food Grade Protein from Microalgae is a relatively new and unheard-of opportunity in alternative protein. The key challenges include 1. to grow the protein at a cost low enough, and 2. to extract the protein to the purity that you can make it into plant milk and plant meat. We can do all that. We are developing a new sustainable plant-based protein out of microalgae. We have a proprietary strain of microalgae that can grow in a fermentation tank, be fed on various food waste, and could be harvested in just 3 days. Our microalgae has 60% of protein which has high quality essential amino acids profile, exceeding WHO requirements for protein products. This can be a sustainable food source due to, 1. Not much land mass is needed, and you can do it indoor (No deforestation), 2. 90%+ of the water can be recycled. Very little water is used. 3. Production cycle is fast, only 3-10 days, versus 45-65 days for soy, 1.5 year for beef. 4. The whole system can be setup near metropolitan area to cut down the needs for agriculture and transportation, addressing the "food security" and "supply chain disruption" issues facing the world today. 5. Our microalgae is fed with industrial food waste like spent grains, okara, and molasses. This is for circular economy and reduced cost. 6. More importantly, NO fertilizer, herbicide, antibiotic, or even growth hormone for the whole process. Truly healthy to the environment and human body.

Join us in the fight against food waste, one sticker at a time.

One-third of all food is wasted. A large portion of this occurs before it even reaches the consumer. We are on a mission to change that. Better understanding leads to effective actions! Retailers are unnecessarily throwing away too much food because they are struggling to predict shelf life and optimise their inventory to sell at peak freshness. Our solution enables retailers to scan produce at distribution centers and at the store to accurately predict days until spoilage. This enables them to improve inventory management and sell produce at the right time. Minimizing food waste. Objectively measuring shelf-life enables buyers to better assess quality and optimize supplier agreements of produce during the season. How it works? Optical sensors attached to a smartphone ‘look’ inside fruit and vegetables and analyse their content. Based on key parameters like sugar levels, water content and other taste factors our artificial intelligence accurately predicts days until spoilage in real-time. This enables anyone to instantly become an expert in freshness assessment. Our software platform analyses trends, helping retailers optimise operations across their supply chain. The result? Less food waste, better quality and more efficient processing.
