PARKAN CRUDES

Established by Erik Nickman in 2020 with a vision to tackle the dependence on the unsustainable feed ingredients import and growing amount of food waste.

Goal is to develop greener and cost-saving solutions not only for companies dealing with food waste but also for farmers, with competitive prices to local services and imported proteins and fertilisers.

Pioneering a Sustainable Future Through Insects

Our Vision

We believe insects will play a crucial role in future nutrition circulation. 

By efficiently processing low-value materials into valuable raw feed ingredients, we create effective waste management solutions and localised production with a resilient supply chain.

We want to help retail with food waste prevention and to provide our farmers with high-performance feed materials to make their production more efficient. This will enable farmers’ products to return to retail shelves with added value and a lower carbon footprint.  However, the difference in the prices of traditional and new raw materials should not exceed their economic benefits.

This requires a careful business model development that currently remains our prime focus, ensuring the sustainability and profitability of all stakeholders.

Our Pilot

Our vision takes flight with real results. Our pilot with retailers in Slovakia pioneers data collection, laying the groundwork for advanced validation and software innovation. This data fuels our deep tech solutions, driving plans to scale to 40 clusters by 2030. We enhance validation through rigorous process checks and material flow mapping, preparing a detailed CO2e measurement methodology to quantify emissions. Addressing 11 million tons of unsold food yearly, we’re shaping a sustainable future across the EU, UK, and beyond
