PhenOlives

Startup Competition
Only 15% of an olive typically becomes oil, leaving behind a massive stream of untapped potential. We are changing that by utilizing a patented, chemical-free technology that stops oxidation at the source, transforming what was once environmental waste into high-value, sustainable ingredients. Our mission is to bridge the gap between Mediterranean tradition and the modern circular economy by unlocking the full nutritional and economic value of the remaining 85% of the fruit. We provide innovative solutions for food manufacturers, the cosmetics industry, and the renewable energy sector. By upcycling olive byproducts into nutrient-dense flour, olive kernels, and powerful antioxidants, we offer a versatile portfolio of eco-friendly resources for brands looking to integrate the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet into everyday products. Our approach allows manufacturers to create low-carb, high-fiber, and gluten-free formulations that resonate with health-conscious consumers. Choosing to work with us means embracing a science-driven approach to sustainability that turns an environmental challenge into a profitable opportunity. Our unique advantage lies in our Total Solution Impact (TSI) system, which preserves the olive’s powerful polyphenols without using chemicals. We help our partners enhance their efficiency and sustainability, providing climate-resilient ingredients that set a new standard for the global agricultural industry.
