Making the world’s most sustainable protein concentrate and specialty flour
Maximum Value. Minimum Waste.
We believe science & technology can help solve the sustainability grand challenges of our generation. Over 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste biomass is produced each year, whilst simultaneously over 700 million people are undernourished. It’s madness. Consumers want healthier, more sustainable and more interesting foods at affordable prices. Consumers want biodegradable bioplastics and sustainable textiles to displace dinosaur-based alternatives.
We started our journey with barley-derived brewers spent grain, where we are deploying the missing technology links in value chains. Over 45 million tonnes of brewers spent grain is produced globally each year that is under-utilised, usually sent to landfill or to farmers as a comparatively low-value stock feed. Brewing beer only removes the starchy sugars from the grain, yet the food-grade byproduct is all the fantastic protein, fibre and micronutrients that goes to waste. This makes no sense and creates a big starting opportunity that we at Grainstone are working to fix.
