Our innovative solution transforms side streams of the brewing industry into valuable raw materials to supply the ever-growing demand for healthy and sustainable plant-based alternatives.
In other words, we save barley grains from the brewing process to produce protein and fiber products for a wide variety of applications in the food industry. This promotes the transition towards a sustainable and circular food economy.
Wir bei Upgrain streben eine Welt an, in der Lebensmittelverschwendung und Umweltverschmutzung auf ein Minimum reduziert werden. Die innovative Upcycling-Technologie ermöglicht es uns, mit einer um 60% geringeren Umweltbelastung zu produzieren als herkömmliche Alternativen wie Soja- oder Erbsenprotein.
Our unique mechanical separation and drying process handles the barley with care to extract all valuable properties. Our gentle, efficient, and eco-friendly methods valorize residuals into usable goods at an unparalleled standard.
