Comet Bio believes that wasted food is wasted nutrition, and is working on making sure that the entire harvest from every farm can be used to make high-quality ingredients. Their technology converts agricultural residues into ingredients that can be used in a range of industries, from biomaterials to foods like syrup and prebiotic supplements.
We upcycle crop leftovers into healthy and sustainable ingredients for use in supplements, foods, and beverages using our patented extraction technology. Comet Bio’s proprietary process is innovative and differentiates us from other ingredient manufacturers.
