Sustainable Protein Producers of the Year – Germany 2024
ProteinDistillery is an innovative company dedicated to transforming the food production industry by creating sustainable, high-quality alternative protein ingredients. Using a patented process, ProteinDistillery upcycles brewer’s yeast—an industrial by-product—into Prew:tein, a nutritionally complete and functionally versatile protein. Prew:tein offers superior binding, gelling, and emulsifying properties, making it ideal for plant-based meats, dairy alternatives, and baked goods, while its neutral taste and colour enable seamless integration into diverse food applications. Committed to sustainability, ProteinDistillery’s production process uses significantly less land, water, and energy compared to traditional protein sources, minimizing environmental impact. The company operates a circular factory model that valorises by-products of the Prew:tein production , such as the yeast cell wall, into high-value products further enhancing resource efficiency. Through innovative solutions and a dedication to reducing the carbon footprint of protein production, ProteinDistillery is at the forefront of developing a more sustainable, nutritious, and eco-conscious food system.
