Renewal Mill’s CEO, Claire Schlemme, first came face-to-face with food waste in the juicing industry. At the end of each day, her organic juice company was left with a mountain of nutritious produce pulp, and no good solution for what to use it for. When she learned that other food makers were having similar “pulp” byproduct problems, but at a much larger scale, that’s when the light bulb went off.
Starting with the byproducts of plant-based soy and oat milk, Renewal Mill produced a line of premium, high fiber, gluten-free flours, and scrumptious baking mixes crafted by Alice Medrich, a five-time James Beard Award-winning cookbook author known for her work with alternative flours.
Renewal Mill’s vision is to create a new circular economy of food that closes the loop in today’s current supply chains, keeps valuable nutrition from going to waste, and deliciously reduce our impact on the environment. They want to ensure that 100% of the food we produce is put to its best and highest use: feeding people.
