Upcycling: Preventing waste by creating new, high-quality products

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization points out that roughly 30% of all food is wasted, contributing mainly to solid waste landfills. Most consumers want to do their part: they pay more attention to the environmental impact of their products, and how they are sourced and created. As climate change and overpopulation add pressure on food resources, finding other sources of raw materials is a sustainable solution to avoid competition.

That explains why research and storytelling about upcycled materials, such as discarded fruit, and circular product concepts are growing in interest. Upcycled ingredients prevent waste by creating new, high-quality products. They use materials that otherwise have gone to waste; are procured and produced using verifiable supply chains and have a positive impact on the environment. This provides a more ethical source of ingredients and promotes a zero-waste way of working.

Pure. Organic. Ethical. Traceable. Sustainable.

We carefully select grower projects by studying the demand and the marketplace for the product and also by paying particular attention to the people and the environments in which the project is being established. This way the project will have true longevity for all involved.

Our Sustainable Sourcing Manager follows closely the evolution of each EarthOil project to ensure we respect our sustainability guidance and support the farmers on the ground with any issues they might have. EarthOil’s supply partners employ an agronomist and field officers to ensure the farmers have access to their expertise on a regular basis. This means the projects have the best chances of crop success for the farmers while also benefiting the environment through better farming practices for the soil, water, and wildlife.
