”Return to the soil” circular sensors

Story
We create flavors from waste - we see it as a resource, the key delicious ingredient lost in our food system. We reinvent the circular food system where nothing is wasted and every part of the animal or plant plays its part and the result is a beautiful delicious food.
When you buy frozen prawns their shells are often missing – have you ever wondered what happens to them?
Well, usually they go straight to the landfill, sharing the same route as almost 50% of seafood catch, which includes prawn shells, fish carcasses and heads. And these parts hold the most flavour and nutrition, used by chefs at the restaurant kitchens to create delicious meals!
We set our mission to rescue these flavours and nutrition and bring them to your table – starting with tasty prawn oil, made from discarded prawn shells!
