NoPalm Ingredients

📢 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 📢 We are thrilled to announce that NoPalm Ingredients has secured a €5 million Seed funding round! 🎉 This milestone will accelerate our mission to provide a sustainable, local, and circular solution to supply the growing demand for palm oil. This funding round was led by Rubio Impact Ventures, with participation from Fairtree Elevant Ventures, Oost NL, Willow Capital Investments, and Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). This support is a testament to our innovative approach and the critical need for sustainable alternatives in the industry. 🌎 “Palm oil is cheap, versatile, and used in about 60% of fast-moving consumer good. However, with demand rising 4% annually and 22 million extra tons needed by 2030 there is no strategy to supply this additional demand sustainably. NoPalm Ingredients has developed THE pioneering palm oil alternative that is both a true drop-in replacement and cost-competitive to conventional palm.”, says our co-founder & CEO Lars Langhout. 🚀 “This funding will help us scale to 50m³ this year, positioning NoPalm Ingredients as a trusted partner in the food and personal care industries and preparing for the final investment decision on our demo factory.”, adds our co-founder and COO Prof Dr Jeroen Hugenholtz. 🙏A big thank you to everyone who has been involved in our thrilling journey. A special thank you to our investors for believing in our vision and to our incredible team for their dedication. Together, we are creating a greener future, one drop of sustainable oil at a time. ➡️Find more information here: https://lnkd.in/eXk3hXKF 🌍💚 #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenTech #SeedFunding #PalmOilAlternative #NoPalmIngredients #FutureOfFood

Their mission? To revolutionize the oil and fat industry by tackling the environmental and supply chain challenges of conventional palm oil, which is found in a staggering 60% of supermarket products. 🌍🍃   Lars, a strategy consulting expert, was inspired by Jeroen's groundbreaking research at Wageningen University on yeast oils as a sustainable and circular alternative to palm oil. 📚🔬 After reading an article about this research, Lars reached out to Jeroen, and the rest is history. 🤝✨   In just two meetings, they decided to join forces. Within a year, their technology scaled from a small lab to a 2000-liter fermentation facility, supported by pilot projects with industry giants like Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever. 🏭💡   Today, NoPalm Ingredients has achieved remarkable growth. What began as a small startup has blossomed into a team of more than 20 innovative impact makers. 🌟👩🔬👨🔬 We're now scaling up our technology to an industrial scale, ready to make a global impact. 🌐🚀   With Lars's strategic vision and Jeroen's 40 years of expertise, we are committed to providing sustainable and affordable alternatives to palm oil, making a positive impact on the environment and global supply chains. 🌱💪   Stay tuned for BIG news – we can't wait to share what's next! 🎉🗓️   #Sustainability #Innovation #NoPalmIngredients #EnvironmentalImpact #FutureOfFood #StayTuned #StartUp 🌿🔜
