01
Feedstock upcycling
Starch-rich food residues are converted into consistent, fermentation-ready substrates instead of becoming low-value waste.
Green biotechnology · Circular chemistry
Turning food waste into the building blocks of tomorrow.
JunkemBio develops bioprocesses that transform underused food residues into renewable feedstocks, microbial ingredients and high-value products for a lower-carbon bioeconomy.

Technology platform
A biorefinery designed around biology.
JunkemBio's biomanufacturing platform connects waste biomass, microbial processing and downstream recovery to create multiple renewable product streams.
02
Biological conversion
Microbial and enzymatic systems turn recovered carbon into sugars, biomass and platform molecules.
03
Product separation
Flexible downstream processing enables the recovery and concentration of multiple value streams from one feedstock.
STEP 01
Food residues
Starch-rich and otherwise underused organic side streams.
STEP 02
Bioprocessing
Hydrolysis, fermentation and biological conversion.
STEP 03
Fractionation
Recovery of sugars, proteins and other useful fractions.
STEP 04
New products
Renewable inputs for food, materials, cosmetics and chemicals.
Products
One feedstock. Multiple value streams.
Our platform is designed to generate practical, scalable ingredients and renewable carbon sources for industrial biotechnology.
Bread Broth™
A food-waste-derived glucose hydrolysate designed as a renewable carbon source for fermentation-based production. The platform can be tailored to customer specifications and downstream requirements.
