Problem
The EU discards 30% of its fruit and vegetable production, leading to significant economic losses and environmental problems. Traditional disposal methods fail to capture the inherent value of these agro-industrial byproducts, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion.

Inspired by the law of conservation of matter, Circular Fiber converts waste streams, such as artichoke processing byproducts, into valuable and innovative food ingredients. Their functional flours, like KARSHOF®, can be used to produce various food products, including bread, pizza, and pasta, offering a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional flours.
