Resweet Progressed to Final Stage For Research Subsidy by Lithuanian Innovation Agency

Driving Innovation with Support from the Lithuanian Innovation Agency

The grant was awarded as part of the Lithuanian Innovation Agency’s initiative to foster cutting-edge research and development projects that drive sustainability and economic growth. Resweet’s proposal stood out for its commitment to addressing global food waste challenges through innovation, contributing to a circular economy while aligning with Lithuania’s strategic goals in green technology and industrial transformation.

The funding will enable Resweet to focus on two key objectives:

1. Improving Core Technology: Enhancing the efficiency, scalability, and sustainability of our upcycling process.

2. Exploring Smaller-Scale Applications: Developing tailored solutions for businesses with lower volumes of bread waste, broadening the accessibility of our technology.

Focus Area 1: Advancing Technology

One of the primary uses of the grant will be to refine and optimize our upcycling technology. Our current process, which includes milling, slurry production, enzymatic electrolysis, and pasteurization, is already efficient and environmentally friendly. However, the funding will allow us to:

• Increase Energy Efficiency: Research and implement techniques to further reduce energy consumption during the syrup production process.

• Boost Production Scalability: Develop modular components to make the technology adaptable to larger facilities.

• Enhance Product Consistency: Work on improving the quality and versatility of the syrup to meet diverse industry needs.

This effort will ensure that Resweet remains at the forefront of sustainable innovation, delivering solutions that are not only effective but also economically viable for businesses.

Focus Area 2: Expanding Access with Smaller-Scale Applications

While large-scale industrial applications have been a key focus, we recognize the need to cater to businesses with smaller volumes of bread waste, such as artisan bakeries, restaurants, and local food producers. The research subsidy will be instrumental in:

• Designing Compact Systems: Developing smaller, cost-effective units that can process lower quantities of bread waste while maintaining efficiency.

• Testing Feasibility: Conducting pilot programs with small businesses to fine-tune the technology and gather insights for further innovation.

• Broadening Market Reach: Enabling more businesses to participate in sustainable practices, regardless of their size.

By creating solutions for smaller-scale applications, we aim to democratize access to upcycling technology, making it a practical choice for a wide range of industries.

What This Means for Resweet and Beyond

This subsidy marks a turning point for Resweet, empowering us to accelerate our research and development efforts while expanding the impact of our technology. It reflects growing recognition of the importance of upcycling as a solution to food waste and its potential to revolutionize how businesses approach sustainability.

For Lithuania, the grant underscores the country’s commitment to supporting innovative companies that contribute to a greener future. By funding projects like ours, the Lithuanian Innovation Agency is fostering a vibrant ecosystem of sustainable innovation with the potential for global impact.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited to put this funding to work, advancing our mission to turn bread waste into a valuable resource and making upcycling accessible to businesses of all sizes. The grant from the Lithuanian Innovation Agency is not just a financial boost—it’s a testament to the viability of our vision and the importance of collaboration in tackling global challenges.

Stay tuned for updates as we progress with this exciting project and continue our journey toward a more sustainable and innovative future. If you’re interested in partnering with Resweet or learning more about our solutions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can make a difference.
