2nd Nature, which specializes in clean ingredient solutions, has launched the AgWaste Portal, an AI system that is capable of streamlining the upcycling of food processing byproducts into functional ingredients.
The technology seeks to meet the increasing call for healthy and sustainable food through the transformation of usually neglected byproducts, like husks, pomace, and fermentation slurry, into valuable ingredients for different industries.
The AgWaste Portal deploys cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to detect and extract functional compounds from food waste, lowering the requirement for massive R&D processes.
The enterprise AI market is set to expand at a rate of 34.1% CAGR during the period 2025-2032, according to Coherent Market Insights. USD 28.8 Bn in 2025 will rise to around USD 224.59 Bn in 2032. Growth in customer satisfaction and usage of secure cloud applications is boosting the market size.
Through its streamlined ingredient discovery, 2nd Nature is able to enable quicker and more sustainable innovation in ingredient production, serving markets such as food and beverage, personal care, and health and wellness.
Effendi Leonard, CEO and co-founder of 2nd Nature, wrote of the potential for the platform to drive change in the industry. "Our AI platform is a game-changer because it enables us to realize the full potential of food processing leftovers and transform them into high-quality ingredients," he said.
The technology not only helps reduce waste but also offers affordable solutions for manufacturers that want to add cleaner, safer, and healthier ingredients to their products.
With growing consumer demands for sustainable behavior, 2nd Nature's move supports the industry's movement towards a circular economy. The AgWaste Portal is described as the first of its kind in the market and provides a scalable solution for innovation in ingredients without neglecting the environmental issues raised by food waste.
The platform is capable of extending beyond conventional applications to identify new molecules from non-edible fruit, vegetable, and cereal parts. Such development could revolutionize product formulations across industries, boosting the nutritional quality and sustainability of end products.
