Holloid’s Sustainable Growth and Impact
Holloid’s platform is set to become a key technology at the heart of this century's pivotal economic transitions to a circular bioeconomy. The future of production will take place in bioreactors—across pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, chemicals, and beyond. This transformation in production requires ever more performant technologies, especially in process monitoring, to be competitive. By enabling green chemistry and sustainable biomolecule and food production, our way of doing ultrafast, automated 3D microscopy is going to be crucial in significantly reducing COâ‚‚ emissions
Economic Dimension
Upgrading industry for sustainability
Holloid retrofits easily into existing production lines, making them more resource-efficient and sustainable, in line with SDG 9.4.
​
Driving innovation
By adapting a previously non-commercial technology for widespread use, Holloid supports SDG 9.5, enhancing research and upgrading industrial technologies.
​
Responsible consumption & production
Holloid directly addresses SDG 12 by reducing waste at the production stage, where 23% of all food waste occurs. This supports both environmental sustainability and global food availability.

Social Dimension
Reducing food waste and loss
​By making production in the food industry more efficient and detecting pathogens earlier, Holloid increases food output, and prevents greenhouse gas emissions from wasted batches.​​​​
​
Optimizing resource use
Greater efficiency along the food value chain ensures raw materials and water are used wisely, reducing waste during production.
​
Enabling sustainable food sources
By improving process efficiency across microbial and cell-based value chains, Holloid supports the development of sustainable, resilient food systems.
Ecological Dimension
​​​Protecting clean water
Holloid devices can continuously monitor water quality in natural environments and industrial settings, enabling early detection of contaminants and improving freshwater reuse.
​
Saving energy through efficiency
Avoiding re-making production batches saves energy, while real-time monitoring eliminates the need for extended heating/cooling during traditional testing.
​
Supporting future fuels
​As new fuels emerge from bioreactors, Holloid contributes to their sustainability by ensuring streamlined, efficient production processes.
