Upcycles dairy waste into valuable biofuels and bioplastics
Ithaca, NY
Capro-X has created a sustainable fermentation technology to upcycle dairy wastewater. Capro-X processes Greek yogurt’s problematic acid whey waste through its WheyAway treatment systems that are installed at Greek yogurt production plants and produces treated water and “bio-oil”— a sustainable, natural, food-grade alternative to oils sourced from palm oil. Capro-X has a pilot system installed at Byrne Dairy’s Cortland, NY plant and has secured a customer to purchase its bio-oil for food and personal care products.
