Refining waste to value
Every year,
1.3 billion
tons of food are lost on farms and in processing.
in the US, over
90 %
is discarded or sold for pennies.
But this ‘waste’ is valuable, containing a portfolio of specialty ingredients and chemicals worth as much as $2000 per ton. This includes the key chemical building blocks for making thousands of everyday products. Hyfé’s refining process releases these chemicals from the biomass matrix that stores them, creating high purity products that can be sold across nutraceutical, personal care, food and chemical industries.
Our products are made locally in the USA, fully traceable, and upcycled from waste—reducing land use for raw materials and creating new value from what was once thrown away.

Transforming carbon we waste into carbon we need.
As we transition to a clean energy future, our materials economy must evolve alongside our energy sources. At Hyfé, we convert low-value waste into high-value chemical intermediates — enabling the world to make the same products we rely on, without petroleum. This approach can double the output of essential chemicals and materials while preserving strategic oil reserves, redirect billions into strengthening the food processing industry, and power domestic manufacturing that revitalizes rural communities.
