NoPalm Ingredients signs a strategic partnership with Milcobel

Palm-free future in the making 🌍 Just two weeks after announcing their demonstration factory, our portfolio partner NoPalm Ingredients has taken another big step forward: a strategic partnership with Milcobel, Belgium’s largest dairy cooperative.

What this partnership delivers:

🏭 Scaling production – the first large-scale commercial facility at Milcobel’s Langemark site (planned 2028)
🌱 Supply agreement – Milcobel’s whey permeate side streams will feed NoPalm’s fermentation process, where they are transformed into high-value oil.

This partnership showcases the strength of NoPalm’s co-location model:

• Transforming side streams into high-value ingredients
• Cutting transport and sharing infrastructure
• Maximizing sustainability impact

A clear case of the circular economy: turning by-products into sustainable palm oil alternatives.

👏 Congratulations to Lars Langhout, Prof Dr Jeroen Hugenholtz, Jeroen Blansjaar and Julie Cortal-Oosterveer on this important milestone!
