Our Zero-Waste Loop is changing the feed industry!
Every year, millions of tons of valuable resources go to waste in the feed industry — until now! At Prochaete, we thought: What if waste wasn’t waste at all? What if we could take what others throw away and turn it into something useful? And that’s exactly what we have done.
We capture residual raw material at their freshest and transform them into high-quality proteins — OddGeir Oddsen, managing director of Prochaete.
Waste is a missed opportunity
In nature, nothing goes to waste — everything has a purpose. We use the same philosophy in our production. Instead of letting valuable resources slip through the cracks, we capture them at their freshest and transform them into high-quality proteins. It’s not about what’s lost — it’s about what can be gained.
The Zero-waste method
From our shrimp farm, shrimp products are sent to high end retailer, while shrimp residual raw material are transformed into Gain PRO and Boost PRO. These additives are used in fish farms. The fish is sold, and the remaining fish residual raw material are converted into our taste enhancer CEP PRO. CEP PRO is then used in the shrimp feed mill to enhance shrimp feed production.
This circular feed chain minimises waste, and reduces fishmeal dependency, with all products ASC certified for responsible sourcing. A great achievement for us, the Seafresh Group and other partners involved in this project. In other words: Less waste, more nutrition, better results.
The first loop is made — let’s scale it
We are thrilled to have turned the idea of a Zero-Waste Loop into reality, proving that waste isn’t a problem — it’s an opportunity. But this is just the beginning.
We welcome new partners to join us on this journey. If you are curious about how to set up your own loop — or how our functional proteins can be part of your feed production — do not hesitate to reach out.
In the next article, we’ll look at the secret behind the Zero-Waste Loop. Why freshness matters to make top quality feed ingredients.
