InnovaGreen Alimentos is a Chilean company dedicated to creating sustainable food solutions by valorizing agricultural waste, specifically fruit that does not meet aesthetic standards for retail. Utilizing a biorefinery concept, the company processes this fruit—which would otherwise be discarded—into functional foods and ingredients rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and phytosterols. Their product line includes 100% natural fruit juices produced without additives, preservatives, or added water, designed to minimize waste and environmental impact. By transforming agricultural byproducts into high-value nutritional inputs, the firm addresses challenges related to food waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and the contamination of water resources caused by traditional waste disposal methods.

The company's work is critical for reducing the environmental footprint of the fruit industry and promoting a circular economy within the agricultural sector. Through their specialized processing techniques, they prevent tons of organic material from entering landfills and help optimize resource use—such as water, soil, and fertilizers—that would otherwise be squandered when produce is discarded. InnovaGreen Alimentos engages with agricultural stakeholders and distributors to capture this potential waste at its source, providing a sustainable, nutritional alternative for consumers. Their efforts have been recognized through research projects and funding initiatives focused on developing sustainable food matrices and reducing agricultural losses.
