Upcycling food waste
to feed your ambitions
Founded in 1996, Prorec was born out of two hog farmer brothers’ desire to do their part for the environment while reducing their cost of animal feed. The brothers found their solution through upcycling food waste and transforming it into nutritious, rich and economical components used in food manufacturing.
Now a leader in Eastern Canada, Prorec specializes in the recycling, collection and upcycling of by-products and production surpluses from medium and large food producers. In turn, it allows them to become major players in the new circular economy, while allowing local feed mills, breeders and farmers to have access to quality nutritional components for animals, at a lower cost.
The Prorec team never stops innovating by developing innovative tools and new ways to generate eco-profitability. Every day, we work in partnership with producers to support and help them in their sustainable development efforts.
