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 over $2,000 per ton. Hyfé’s refining process releases these compounds from the biomass matrix in which they are stored, creating high-performance ingredients for the food, beverage, personal care, and nutraceutical industries, as well as chemical building blocks used to produce thousands of everyday products through biomanufacturing.
A win for your bottom line.
A win for the world.

Transforming carbon we waste into carbon we need.
As we transition to a more resilient future, our materials economy must evolve alongside our energy system. Glucose—abundant in food waste—offers a pathway to produce the same essential products we rely on today without petroleum. By refining food waste and channeling glucose streams into the bioeconomy, we can build a scalable and economic foundation for domestic materials production that strengthens the food system and revitalizes rural communities.
