Oliveloop converts olive press waste into animal feed, compost, renewable energy, and rural income — using mobile units, operating at the source, in a single harvest season.
tonnes of pomace
produced annually
dumped or burned —
a crisis hiding in plain sight
Morocco produces millions of tonnes of olive pomace each year. Most of it is dumped in fields or waterways. Livestock farmers, meanwhile, spend a growing share of income on imported feed. Rural families are squeezed from both sides.
Pomace dumped near waterways releases polyphenols that are acutely toxic to aquatic life and degrade soil health for years.
Livestock farmers in Morocco spend 60–70% of operational budget on imported feed. Margins are shrinking every season.
Existing solutions require farmers and millers to invest in infrastructure they don't have. The waste stays waste.
Our mobile pelletization unit arrives at the olive press. We process pomace on site — no transport, no new infrastructure, no capital expenditure from the farmer or miller.
For lambs & rabbits
35–45% cost reduction
Collected from press
at zero cost to miller
High-quality biofertilizer
replaces peat substrate
Renewable energy
powers site operations
Our pelletization unit drives to the olive press during harvest season. No capital cost for the miller.
Pomace is processed, dried, and pelleted into nutrient-dense animal feed meeting livestock nutrition standards.
Lambs and rabbits on participating farms receive Oliveloop pellets. Feed costs, weight gain, and health data are tracked.
Residuals become compost. Organic waste feeds the biogas pilot. Visitors come to see it working. The data is published.
Numbers updated from the field as the season progresses. Follow along — or sign up for our monthly Loop Update to get data direct to your inbox.
The science exists. Other projects have proved parts of this model in a lab. We're the first commercial operation bringing the whole loop to Morocco — with a structure built for European investors from day one.
We go to the waste. No farmer or miller invests a single dirham in infrastructure. The mobile pelletization unit eliminates the #1 barrier to circular adoption in rural Morocco.
Feed + compost + biogas + eco-tourism in one pilot. Every competitor does one piece. Oliveloop runs the whole loop — more revenue streams, lower risk, a stronger story.
Measurable, published results — feed cost reduction, waste diverted, jobs created — within a single olive harvest. Investors see real numbers before the next grant deadline.
Our German holding company structure positions Oliveloop as a European entity operating in Morocco — accessible to Horizon Europe grants, German impact funds, and ESG investors who can't fund purely non-EU entities.
No competitor is building visitor experiences around circular agriculture. Eco-tourism creates premium revenue that funds operations while generating the kind of authentic storytelling no marketing budget can buy.
The Oliveloop farm is a working circular agriculture site — and an experience. Watch olive pomace turn into feed, walk the compost rows, see the animals thrive, eat what the land produces.
For sustainability-minded travellers, researchers, school groups, and impact investors who want to see circularity working — not on a slide, but in the soil.
Half-day and full-day guided tours of the circular operation, from olive press to feeding pen.
Meals prepared from animals raised on Oliveloop feed, in the landscape that produced them.
Site visits for due diligence, field verification, academic research, and grant reporting.
Our German holding structure gives EU investors a clean, compliant vehicle. The pilot generates the evidence base that makes 2027 grant applications unbeatable.
Circular bioeconomy and sustainable food systems calls open for 2026–2027. German holding makes Oliveloop directly eligible as a European research & innovation partner.
The same EU fund that funded the SURFOLY research consortium (olive pomace feed, Morocco). Oliveloop is the commercial deployment of what PRIMA has been funding in research.
GIZ has active Morocco programmes across agriculture, rural development, and circular economy. German holding = ideal conduit for German development capital into Moroccan operations.
Oliveloop maps directly to five UN Sustainable Development Goals — the language every EU grant committee and impact investor speaks.
A dual-jurisdiction structure designed to meet EU grant requirements and Moroccan regulatory compliance simultaneously.
The European entity. Enables direct access to Horizon Europe, EIP-AGRI, EAFRD, and German development capital.
The on-ground entity. Fully compliant with Moroccan agricultural and environmental law, integrated with Morocco's Green Generation 2020–2030 strategy.

The Bouznika pilot is designed to replicate. Each successful season generates the evidence base for the next mobile unit, the next region, and ultimately a Mediterranean-wide network.
