Sustainability at RE-NUT®

RE-NUT® - redefining plant-based production
through innovation that respects both your health
and the planet.

Why it matters

RE-NUT®'s first case is almonds. Almond production is water-intensive and generates a lot of by-products such as almond hulls and shells, which are mainly used for animal feed and bedding. Our method makes better use of every part of the almond, reducing both food waste and emissions.

ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT: BY THE NUMBERS

Compared to coventional manufacturing of almond products, RE-NUT®’s patented technology offers:

  • Up to 53% lower carbon footprint
    for almond milk
  • Up to 35% lower carbon footprint
    for almond flour
  • Over 25% reduction
    in water scarcity footprint

These results are based on a comprehensive Life Cycle on pilot scale.

SAVING WATER IN CALIFORNIA
 

All our almonds are sourced from California – an area heavily affected by drought. By using in-shell almonds, RE-NUT® almond products reduce water scarcity impacts by:

  • 20% less water use
    for almond milk
  • 25.5% less water use
    for almond flour

OUR PROCESS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Instead of discarding the hard outer shell, our proprietary technology integrates it into the production process – extracting more nutrients while using fewer resources.

  • Lower almond input per kg of product
  • Higher yield of nut products for equal output
  • Efficient energy use with minimized waste

DATA-BACKED. FUTURE-FOCUSED.

Our findings were validated in cooperation with Eaternity, an expert in environmental food assessment. As we scale, we remain committed to transparency, third-party reviews and continual improvement.

We help to achieve the following UN goals

SDG GOAL 2: ZERO HUNGER

RE-NUT®’s technology allows for the production of more nutritious food and less waste, contributing to SDG 2 by maximinising the yield of raw materials and delivering a high fiber, highly nutritious product.

Details

SDG GOAL 6: CLEAN WATER. AND SANITATION

RE-NUT® ares about water consumption and water scarcity. Our water scarcity footprint is comparably lower than traditional nut processing, protecting our precious water resources.

Details

SDG GOAL 12: RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

RE-NUT® innovative technology using in-shell nuts produces zero waste. Our commitment to responsible production starts here, in the optimisation of resource processing. We contribute to responsible consumption by producing delicious, zero waste and clean label products, effectively providing a a sustianable alternative to traditional nut products.
