PANACEA: Upcycling waste into health

Researcher

Valladolid, Spain

About

Every day, tons of surplus bread are thrown away. But at PANACEA, we believe the future of food isn't about producing more; it’s about making better use of what we already have.

PANACEA is:

100% Circular: Our biotechnical process integrates 100% of the food waste matrix into a liquid phase, generating zero secondary solid waste.

High Efficiency: We recover 200 kg of surplus bread per 1,000 litres of beverage.

Validated Science: Backed by 4 peer-reviewed papers in JCR Q1 journals and a pending patent.

Market recognised: Awarded 3 times for its eco-innovation, including Finalist at Ecotrophelia Spain and the TCUE Business Idea Prize.

We don't just reduce food waste, we turn it into a scalable, nutritious, and market-ready liquid asset.

PANACEA is science driving societal impact.

Let’s toast with PANACEA to a world without food waste!
