Food Upcycling

What is food upcycling?

Food upcycling refers to the re-processing of byproducts from the food production process 
and food ingredients that lost its value due to appearances to create a brand new product.

What is brewer's spent grain?

Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) refers to leftover barley after the process of producing beer. Nutrients are still left in the leftover barley after production.
Brewer’s spent grain has over 2.4 times more protein, 20 times more fiber, and 1/3 less carbohydrates compared to flour. However, more than 39 million tons of highly nutritious brewer’s spent grain worldwide and 420,000 tons in Korea are being wasted due to the lack of technology for utilization.

Brewer’s spent grain has commonly been used as fertilizers or for harvesting crops, but we are creating various and innovative products through upcycling.  
Currently, we are expanding into developing high-value, highly functional, and highly nutritious food ingredients by using the byproducts of beer as well as sikhye (sweet rice punch), red ginseng, and fruits.

RE:nergy
(Recycling energy)

RE:nergy powder is being developed by using various ingredients such as beer and sikhye byproducts. RE:nergy powder made with brewer’s spent grain is an eco-friendly ingredient that has more than 2.4 times more protein and 20 times more fiber compared to flour.

Value of 1 kg of RE:nergy powder

   Reduces 3.7 t of water usage

   Reduces 11 kg of carbon emissions

   Upcycles 3 kg of byproducts

Food upcycling is a broader concept of circular economy that aims to minimize waste and maximize resource usage. By giving new purposes for food byproducts, we are contributing to creating a more sustainable and circulative system.
