PRESS RELEASE
REPLOID sees significant potential for food retail and food industry
regarding end-of-waste status under the waste management act – reducing
scope 3 emissions and optimizing costs
• Expected emission savings through the REPLOID solution compared to
other organic residue recovery methods
• Income stream via carbon credit trading under evaluation
• Target certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 14067
WELS, Austria – June 1, 2026 – REPLOID Group AG („REPLOID“) offers a
solution that transforms organic residues from the food industry and food
retail into valuable raw materials. In doing so, the REPLOID system opens
up new, industrially scalable pathways for customers to reduce their
carbon emissions.
Significant emission reduction potential
The company is confident that this upcycling process not only enables more
efficient use of resources but also significantly reduces emissions
compared to alternative disposal methods – particularly conventional waste
disposal, landfilling, and incineration.
Philip Pauer, CEO and Founder of REPLOID: „Instead of incinerating or
landfilling organic residues – processes that generate enormous amounts of
CO₂ and methane – our insect larvae process this material. The larvae can
serve as feed for poultry and pigs, or in processed form as a raw material
for a wide range of industries. In addition, the larvae through their
excretions and residues provide the basis for 100% organic, regionally
produced fertilizer. Our system thus helps avoid emissions across the
entire value chain.“
REPLOID is seeing strong interest in its solutions from food retailers and
food-producing companies, including dairy processors as well as vegetable
and meat processing businesses. These sectors face substantial disposal
costs for organic residues and also have a pressing need to reduce their
FLAG emissions (Forest, Land and Agriculture).
For this reason, REPLOID has assembled a dedicated team to evaluate the
potential for CO₂ emission savings as well as possible monetization models
through carbon credits – an avenue that could open up an additional income
stream for the company in the future.
Certified data to substantiate emission savings potential
As a first step, REPLOID has launched a project to determine its carbon
footprint, including a planned TÜV certification under ISO 14067 – Product
Carbon Footprint, and to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In
addition, REPLOID is currently implementing management systems under ISO
9001 and ISO 14001 to further strengthen its quality and environmental
responsibility. Based on the results, the company will be able to quantify
and substantiate its contribution to reducing Scope 3 emissions in the
future.
About REPLOID Group AG
REPLOID offers an innovative system for the industrial utilization of
regional organic residues from the food industry.
The company builds and services modular and scalable insect-rearing plants
for its customers – the REPLOID ReFarmUnits. In these plants, young Black
Soldier Fly larvae supplied by the company receive a site-specific feed
mix. This mix is developed on the basis of REPLOID’s own research and
development using residual materials from the regional food value chain.
After rearing, customers either use the larvae and/or their by-products
themselves, or REPLOID takes them back for centralized marketing or
further processing.
REPLOID sells the reared larvae either directly or, after further
processing into proteins and fats, for example, to customers in the animal
feed industry. From the by-products of insect rearing (insect frass), the
company produces premium organic fertilizer.
With decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale, REPLOID provides an
economically attractive solution within the circular economy. Food
residues and unused food are utilized efficiently, helping to conserve key
resources over the long term.
REPLOID Group AG was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Wels,
Austria. The company has a global focus and has been listed since July
2025 on the Vienna Stock Exchange’s direct market plus segment (ticker
symbol: HRX5). The Group employs more than 135 people.
