Re-Nuble Helps Soilless Farms Grow Net Income By Going Closed Loop
New York, NY | July 1, 2020
Re-Nuble has cracked the code on how to help soilless farms grow their net income by going 100% closed loop, through the utilization of food waste. Over the past 5 years, the company has developed technologies that unlock water-soluble nitrates from plant-based food waste streams, producing industrial-grade organic fertilizer for soilless farms. While others with the same vision have found themselves burdened with the obstacle of building an organic fertilizer that is both cost and yield-production competitive with synthetics, Re-Nuble has succeeded.
The business of food production has produced enormous food waste in its wake. 20.2 million tons in the USA alone go unharvested each year, often left to rot or sent to landfills where valuable nutrients are locked away from ever hoping to rejoin the ecosystem. Re-Nuble’s goal is to reintegrate food waste as an industrial grade, closed-loop fertilizer that is both price and yield competitive with the standard synthetic fertilizers for soilless farms. Their fertilizers are shown, on a grow cost per plant basis, to be 2X more cost-effective than the current dominant market standard, mineral salts.
Re-Nuble selects a proprietary mix of food waste streams which are then processed using similarly proprietary methods in order to kill any pathogens. The food waste is then prepared to become a plug-and-play fertilizer. Re-Nuble funnels this fertilizer through their patent-pending Nutrient Delivery System, an on-site hardware technology suite that rapidly solubilizes provided fertilizers, monitors pH levels, manages EC control, and ensures the long-term recirculation of the same nutrient-rich water for years to come. Part of this technology is available immediately to solubilize products, and the full suite will be available in early 2021.
As an added value, the company also offers client waste integration through an on-site hardware technology suite. The client’s own food waste stream is used as input and converted into a yield-enhancing fertilizer supplement. This enables farms to decrease water loss, enhance food supply chain security, and further decrease their operation’s GHG emissions. This has been of particular interest to farms operating at least 4 acres of production space.
From a net income perspective, Re-Nuble fertilizers are far more cost-effective than mineral salts and deliver a wider micronutrient and microbial profile. These fertilizers align with crop growth at the speed and year-round sowing or harvesting cycles of mineral salt-fertilized soilless farms. Since they are 2x more cost-effective than mineral salts, client farms receive immediate net income improvements. Furthermore, Re-Nuble’s fertilizers unlock organic food production that fetches a long-term, far greater
gross margin increase (at least 20% or more). Combined, the significant savings on the cost side and enhanced earnings enable client farms to become significantly more profitable and viable businesses.
It is Re-Nuble’s philosophy to mirror the processes of our natural food ecosystem, infinitely more complex than human-built food production methods that have hundreds, if not thousands, of discrete, often-invisible ways to re-integrate food waste back into nature. Wind and birds carrying seeds, small mammals burying acorns, yeast protecting the outer layers of fruits for longevity, and so on. Closing the loop on food production is an attempt to industrialize this natural re-integration process. The benefits include net income growth, emission reduction, and enhanced food security.

ABOUT RE-NUBLE
Re-Nuble is an agriculture technology company that uses organic cycling science to unlock the conversion of food waste into industrial-grade organic fertilizer for soilless farms. We are the world’s enabler of closed loop food, recirculating natural resources from participant waste streams and the greater food system. We divert the valuable resource of food waste from entering landfills, eliminating methane emissions that would have been circulating in our ecosystem. Through our pelletized fertilizer and proprietary “nutrient delivery system”, farms rapidly convert waste streams into soluble nitrates, amongst other nutrients, for quicker plant uptake and yields. The results are comparable to the nitrate availability of industry-dominant fertilizers, synthetic mineral salts, allowing farms to increase their bottom line. Our recirculating nutrient technology enables soilless farms to more competitively grow soil-quality, organic produce with sustainable best practices.
