Through the use of plant fiber recycled material technology, renouvo recycles agricultural waste to create new materials, thus reducing waste and replacing plastics. After consumers use these materials, they can be composted and returned to the earth.
Organic waste generated by the agriculture and catering industries, such as sugarcane bagasse, coffee grounds, and spent grain, can have a negative impact on the environment if not processed properly. In addition, the extensive use of plastics has exacerbated the problem of microplastics and worsened climate change.
Revitalizing agricultural waste through cross-industry cooperation
renouvo has successfully linked food processing plants, plastic foundries, and businesses in the catering industry, using its patented technology to convert sugarcane bagasse into processable particle materials; these materials are sent to traditional plastic foundries to produce final products, sold to domestic and overseas companies or directly supplies to companies.
In 2023, renouvo collaborated with LE BLE D'OR to recycle its spent grain, a by-product of brewing beer, into tableware for customers at LE BLE D'OR, thereby recycling waste within the company.
Biodegradable feature enables products to break down in the soil
Products made by renouvo retain the capacity to decompose of organic matter. Once their service life ends, they can be processed through industrial or household composting systems, so that they can become nutrients for the land and realize biomass recycling.
