About Circular Food Solutions
Circular Food Solutions AG is a food-technology company focused on upcycling food side-streams into value-added ingredients and products. Its website presents the company as a circular-economy business built around making better use of existing resources rather than relying on additional raw-material demand.
The company positions itself around plant-based protein innovation, offering a clean-label, highly nutritious solution made from upcycled brewer’s spent grains. It appears to serve food manufacturers and brands looking for sustainable, locally sourced plant-based protein ingredients with improved texture and functionality.
Core Values
- Circularity: The company emphasizes using existing resources more efficiently and turning side-streams into value rather than treating them as waste.
- Sustainability: Its offering is framed as locally sourced and produced in a sustainable manner, with a clear focus on reducing inefficiency in the food system.
- Nutrition: The website highlights a highly nutritious product with superior nutritional composition and clean-label positioning.

Unique Aspects
- Brewer’s spent grains as feedstock: The company’s core product is made from upcycled brewer’s spent grains, giving it a distinctive raw-material base.
- Texture and functionality focus: It claims a unique fibre texture, taste, and elasticity, which differentiates it from regular plant-based proteins.
- Parent-company backing: The website states that the company benefits from a globally successful parent company with decades of experience, suggesting stronger operational support than a typical start-up.
- Circular food model: Its business model is explicitly built around upcycling food side-streams into a successful plant-based protein proposition.
