About us
NoPalm Ingredients produces tailor-made yeast oils & fats, made from agri-food waste streams that are perfect substitutes for palm and other vegetable oils in food, cosmetics, and home care products. Our products offer a two-sided solution that reduces both the use of palm oil and food waste.
NoPalm Ingredients is on a mission to challenge companies and product manufacturers to implement our local, circular, and sustainable oils as an alternative to palm oil.
By upcycling agri-food side streams into circular yeast oils, we are making a worldwide environmental impact, contributing to a waste-free world, decarbonizing the entire value chain with 90% less greenhouse gas emissions, and limiting the impact on natural habitats as we reduce land-use by 99%.

NoPalm Ingredients is a BioTech start-up with EUR 1.6 Mn in funding and growing quickly. We have developed a solution to the palm oil problem by “brewing” microbial oil that has similar characteristics to palm oil, allowing it to replace it as an ingredient in food and cosmetics. For our fermentations we use a variety of sidestreams as feedstock. This makes our oil a truly circular and sustainable solution to one of world's biggest problems.
