  • Harvesting The Hidden Potential of Agrifood Byproducts 

    Building on top of the EIT-funded project “Phenoliva” from the ETH Zürich, Gaia Tech produces clean label ingredients for cosmetics, food, and feed manufacturers. Our proprietary extraction technology mines valuable resources from food processing and agricultural production sidestreams and creates value for suppliers, partners and customers.
