Turning Side Streams into Profit

A Collaborative Revolution in Sustainable Protein Production

ValProMic, a partnership among Agristo, Clarebout, Akwadok, and Avecom, is set to redefine how your potato processing company manages residual diluted side streams. 

In the current landscape, food processing companies often face challenges with diluted process streams. These streams, which could be viewed as waste or even a financial burden, are typically underutilized. 

ValProMic transforms these overlooked process streams into valuable microbial protein, also known as Single Cell Protein (SCP). By upgrading what was once considered a loss or cost, we not only offer a circular solution but also a potentially profitable avenue for potato processing companies.

Tailoring each product to the specific needs of their clients, Agristo ensures exceptional quality and customer satisfaction. This dynamic company forms a critical component of our ValProMic partnership.
