In the era of advancing climate change, the need for sustainable solutions is crucial. But can sustainable businesses emerge from these solutions?
Humanity can scarcely afford environmentally destructive methods that threaten natural habitats and cause long-term damage to ecosystems. The significant challenge lies in discovering new solutions that are economically sustainable while being environmentally responsible. So far, it seems that the most economically viable approaches have been those particularly damaging to the environment.
ENTAVA, located in Roggentin near Rostock, has a solution for this. The startup produces high-quality and nutritious protein powder from insect flour. Through innovative production methods, the product is not only sustainable but also boasts excellent nutritional values. The neutrally flavored powder is versatile, serving as a genuine alternative to conventional protein sources.
The company’s end customers primarily operate in the B2B sector within food production and premium pet food industries.
Current Challenges
To optimize production, continuous efficiency enhancements and innovative technologies are being implemented to ensure a sustainable and seamless workflow.
Simultaneously, the focus is on strengthening distribution channels by establishing strategic partnerships and expanding reach through targeted marketing initiatives and network expansion.
