About

Naki focuses on transforming untreatable sludge from the food industry into valuable material through a carbon-negative process. This approach is implemented locally at food industry facilities, enabling them to produce biogas on-site and explore additional revenue opportunities.

Naki's process contributes to the development of a local circular oil ecosystem. By utilizing waste materials from food production, the technology helps to reduce landfill volumes and lessens dependency on imported feedstock for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This method supports environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint of food production facilities and contributing to broader waste reduction and resource efficiency initiatives.
