Hyfé solves the problem of food waste by using a proprietary chemical refining process that breaks down discarded biomass into high-value, high-purity compounds such as bioactives, oils, and cellulose. Using food-safe solvents and catalysis, their feedstock-flexible system efficiently extracts valuable carbon materials on-site at food processing facilities, reducing waste handling and enabling immediate off-take. This approach turns low-value food waste into speciality chemicals for use across nutraceutical, personal care, and industrial sectors, creating new revenue streams while reducing reliance on petroleum.
