redefining food waste
We’re ending food waste through fermentation
Learn how microbial systems transform food waste into new food products more affordably and sustainably than landfills, composting, or biofuels.
Fermentation Consulting
By keeping the waste solution internal, the costs of waste disposal are eliminated. At Symbio, we combine microbial traditions and science to design fermentations for the agricultural and food manufacturing industries. Through the lenses of a businesses’ needs, equipment, and waste profiles, Symbio leverages decomposition.
We design custom microbe-based solutions for food and agricultural businesses—transforming their waste into value-added products and additives.
Product Design
The team at Symbio designs safe, cost-effective, and successful fermentations that dictate the highest value that can be created from a firm’s organic waste and surplus. The Symbio Program creates either new products that firms can sell direct to consumer, or additives that can be added directly back into production processes.
Sustainable Systems Development
Symbio designs green solutions using tiny organisms to solve big problems. Fermentation offers a unique opportunity to not only eliminate waste disposal costs, but also create better profit margins for businesses—that bring new, exciting flavors to customers and are good for the planet at the same time.
Testimonials
“At Honeymoon Chocolates, sustainability is core to everything we do—but up to 25% of our annual waste by weight comes from cocoa husks. That challenge became an opportunity thanks to Elliott and the team at Symbio Bioculinary. Their deep expertise and collaborative approach helped us transform cocoa husk waste into real value. From in-depth kombucha testing and husk flour formulation to developing a micronized husk ingredient for a ready-to-drink cocoa beverage, Symbio brought both vision and execution to the table. Their work has opened new product avenues for us and strengthened our commitment to sustainable innovation. We couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
