What does Upcycle do?

The UpCycle Company, founded in 2016 and based in Denver, Colorado, focuses on environmental services by upcycling DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) skim waste from food processing. Utilizing its proprietary FOX Technology, the company transforms this waste into valuable co-products such as fats, oils, proteins, and fertilizers. This innovative process not only reduces the need for wastewater treatment chemicals but also supports sustainability and clients' environmental goals. In 2023, The UpCycle Company expanded with a new facility in Lee County, South Carolina, in partnership with Belger Farms. This facility aims to treat organic residuals and create job opportunities. The company's core service efficiently extracts high-quality co-products for various industries, including fertilizers, animal feed, biofuels, and cosmetics, while minimizing environmental impact.
