Agricultural Byproduct Upcycling





















BioPowder Transforms Byproducts into Multifunctional Ingredients
Georgia Wray Norsten — January 11, 2025BioPowder is pioneering sustainability with its innovative use of 'biopowder,' created from agricultural byproducts like olive pits, peels, almond stones, and peach kernels. Through a chemical-free process called micronization -- cleaning, drying, milling, and sieving -- these residues are upcycled into versatile powders for industries such as food, cosmetics, and packaging.
These powders are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and antimicrobials, offering vegan, grain-free, and fully natural solutions. 'Upcycling agricultural byproducts prevents them from decaying into waste and instead creates fully natural, compostable ingredients,' says founder Kathrin Schilling.
BioPowder’s approach supports local farming communities by providing a profitable recycling strategy and contributes to a circular economy. As brands increasingly embrace eco-innovation, BioPowder is leading the way, proving that upcycled ingredients can be both sustainable and multifunctional, laying the foundation for a greener industrial ecosystem.
