One surprising trend in fiber and biotics is a growing emphasis on upcycled ingredients. Loula Merkel, chief executive officer at ingredient supplier COMET in Schaumburg, Illinois, said that COMET’s upcycled ingredients enable customers to expedite applications for PUI (Products with Upcycled Certified Ingredients) certification; this emphasis on upcycled ingredients, Merkel said, is creating a sustainable and scalable option to meet consumers’ needs.
