We are an innovative, process technology, Devon based company that holds international patents and unique intellectual property. We install process technology that creates a significant income stream for food manufacturers and companies that have to manage organic waste. We do this by recovering valuable food extracts in the form of food ingredients (stocks and fats), and creating a phosphate-rich fertiliser for crop and soil enhancement.

About Elemental
Our process underpins a much needed transition to domestic food and fertiliser security. It enables better utilisation of our precious food resources whilst giving back to the food chain in the form of soil regeneration and improved plant health, all the while creating a sustainable circular model that builds economic, natural and social capital.
Our food ingredient products produced from the patented process are traceable, high quality and sustainable, safe for the human food chain and improve the capture of protein and fat while avoiding the creation of waste. We also recover valuable minerals through the onsite conversion of animal by-product waste streams into nutrient rich fertiliser.
With the increased focus on environmental stewardship, resource efficiency, health, safety and security concerns, and the need for greener and more eco-efficient farm systems, our process has been developed to meet and exceed these and evolving agricultural and food related objectives.
