PeelPioneers is a scale-up that wants to make a DIFFERENCE. Half the weight of an orange is its peel. Every time you drink a liter of juice, a kilo of peels remains somewhere. Waste, you will think and most companies think so too. Every year in the Netherlands we throw away more than 250 million kilos of citrus peels. Thats more than 10,000 trucks full! A shame, because the peels can also be used as raw materials. And this is already happening! In countries where citrus fruits grow (e.g. in Brazil & Florida), the peels are used to extract valuable raw materials. Nowhere in the world does this happen with peels that are thrown away every day at supermarkets and restaurants. PeelPioneers is changing this. PeelPioneers processes citrus peels and thus extracts raw materials that can be used in various industries. In this way we switch from waste to raw material and PeelPioneers contributes to the circular economy. PeelPioneers has the ambition to return 100% of the peel to the food chain and is able to do so with our partners.

Inspired by nature, insects are our solution. By harnessing the incredible ability of the black soldier fly to turn our organic waste into high-quality proteins, we can reduce the footprint of our food chain. By pairing nature’s own power with high tech, we provide much-needed nutrition to the world - sustainably. 🌍 Through challenging the status quo, and by dedication and hard work, we earn our position as the leading insect ingredients company each and every day. Some of the world’s most beloved brands and respected feed manufacturers already rely on our high-quality ingredients to bring healthy and sustainable products to their customers. And there is still a world to gain. We are passionate and determined about having an impact on an unprecedented scale. That’s why we seek strong partnerships with forward-thinking companies and stakeholders to embark on this exciting journey with us. The more we collaborate, the stronger our positive force for nature will be. 💚 With our contagious passion and scientific approach, we create low footprint feed and food innovations for the good of future generations. Let’s turn our state-of-the-art ingredients into naturally sustainable nutrition for everyone and jointly create a circular food system. Together, let’s change how we feed the world 💪
