Tensei: Transforming Agricultural Waste into Valuable Materials
In this case study, Annabelle Cox, Founder & CEO of Tensei, explains how her material science company is pioneering "second harvest" technology, transforming agricultural residues like straw, husks, and fruit waste into valuable materials that can reduce plastic use while creating additional revenue for farmers.
Through our Business Sustainability Challenge, Tensei has successfully developed biomaterials using local agricultural waste from hops and raspberry canes, demonstrating how Kent's primary agricultural economy can generate sustainable secondary industries. Their innovations not only provide consistent revenue sources for farmers but also help reduce carbon footprints across the supply chain. Find out more here or watch the video below.
