Renewal Mill, with the slogan 🍪 Bake a better future. 🌎, is garnering attention as a transformative force in the food industry. Recognized as a World Changing Idea by Fast Company, this Oakland, CA-based business is innovating the way we approach food waste.
Founded in 2016, Renewal Mill addresses the global food loss problem—valued at $1.2 trillion—by upcycling byproducts into premium ingredients. Its flagship product, organic okara, proves that food byproducts like soybean pulp can be transformed into high-value, gluten-free flour rich in fiber and protein. The company's expertise extends beyond okara, with processes applicable to oat pulp, potato peels, and more.
Backed by reputable investors such as Beyond Impact Vegan Partners and ICA, and recently supported with a Series A investment in June 2023, Renewal Mill is well-positioned for growth. As an award-winning woman-owned business, it stands poised to become the industry's leading supplier of sustainable ingredients. The company's commitment to a new circular economy makes it an attractive opportunity for investors aiming to impact sustainable food solutions positively.
