Beverage & brewing industry
Brewer's grains, pomace, fruit scraps, peels – once a cost factor, now a feedstock for insect production.
Industrial value streams from waste materials
From a waste disposal problem to a strategic resource.
Every day, large volumes of organic by-products are generated – and most of them are still regarded as a cost factor rather than an opportunity.
REPLOID changes that. By integrating modular processing units directly into existing operations, organic by-products become a new, economically viable raw material source.
Cost-effective, scalable, and practical –
from a cost center to a value-added component.
Challenges
Rising disposal and logistics costs for organic byproducts
Stricter environmental regulations and requirements for sustainability reports
Growing pressure from retailers, brands, and consumers toward a circular economy
Limited options for utilization, such as biogas or incineration
The solution – tailored to your business
Scope 3 requirements
The waste materials are processed right where they are generated—shorter logistics chains and reduced CO2 emissions
Circular economy becomes measurable
Documented and traceable – for reporting, audits, and certifications
Efficient value creation
The integrated 360-degree system means that sourcing, plant operations, acceptance, and marketing are all handled by a single provider
Optimization of the business model
Scalability and predictability of additional revenue from waste-to-energy conversion
The Type 60
The facility comprises 84 digestion tanks, supplemented by 12 nursery units and integrated post-processing. This creates a closed-loop system for the sustainable recycling of organic waste.

Here's how it works
Analysis of your by-product streams
We assess the composition, quantities, and availability of your organic waste and by-products, thereby laying the groundwork for an economically viable utilization plan.
Integration into your facility
Our modular units are tailored to your infrastructure, material flows, and operational requirements – from pilot projects to industrial implementation.
Conversion into new raw materials
Previously unused by-products are being transformed into usable raw materials and new economic opportunities – while at the same time reducing disposal costs.
Industrial Applications
Dairy industry
Whey, production residues, and organic byproducts are generated in large quantities, creating significant pressure to recycle and dispose of them.
Fruit, vegetable, and convenience food production
Peelings, sorting waste, and defective products become raw materials instead of waste.
Starch, baking, and snack industries
Flour and dough byproducts, as well as off-spec products, are recycled as part of an integrated process.

FAQ
The ReFarmUnit converts by-products into high-value products such as protein, oil, and fertilizer, thereby creating new sources of revenue. At the same time, disposal and raw material costs are significantly reduced. The result is higher value creation and improved margins. Additionally, it strengthens ESG performance, eligibility for funding, and long-term competitiveness.
The ReFarmUnit is a modular system that connects directly to existing by-products from food production. Co-location minimizes logistics efforts and costs. Existing infrastructure (energy, buildings, personnel) can be efficiently utilized.
If space is limited, the customer has the flexibility to choose an external location (e.g., a biogas operator). The customer remains the key player as the owner of the substrate and a strategic partner in the facility. The customer continues to secure the value generated from their by-products—without any operational burden. REPLOID handles implementation and operation, while the customer retains control and economic benefits.
