Defugo Technologies DTE Ltd (“Defugo”) was formed in 2016 by David Coleman and Mark Buirski to develop a fully patented technology solution to eliminate waste food in the production chain. Over the first five years Defugo developed the Universal Processing Plant (“UPP”). The UPP technology allows food growers and processors to sustainably and responsibly turn 100% of what would have been waste produce into nutritious food, energy and fertilzers. It can process all forms of produce, so it can be active all year round regardless of variety of seasonal produce. This last factor also promotes crop rotation and consequently more productive healthy soil. A fundamental aim is to “Feed People, Not Landfill”.
Defugo will target both the largest produce segments to profitably monetize waste to drive powerful sustainable change at scale AND meaningfully assist smaller or poorer communities, locations & populations.
