CRITERIA FOR ALIGNMENT

POWDER HOUSE actively contributes to SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being – by redefining nutrition as an active agent of preventive health and systemic resilience through biogrape™, its science-backed functional ingredient. Through its Agro-Waste Upcycling Model, the company reclaims fruit pomace—an abundant yet undervalued agroindustrial byproduct—and repurposes it into ultrafine, biofunctional ingredients that address the physiological mechanisms underpinning chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In doing so, POWDER HOUSE delivers innovative nutritional solutions that support public health outcomes while simultaneously reducing the environmental burden. biogrape™ is a polyphenol-rich, ultrafine functional ingredient derived from upcycled Cabernet Sauvignon grape pomace. It is developed through sustainability-focused R&D and produced using a residue-free, chemical-free, water-free, manipulation-free, and low-energy process. “Residue-free” means complete elimination of waste generation; “Chemical-free” ensures no synthetic chemicals are used; “Water-free” indicates operation entirely without the use of water; and “Manipulation-free” avoids direct human contact with biomaterials during processing. This ensures that all functional ingredients maintain pristine purity, optimal efficiency, and consistent performance. As a result of its advanced design, biogrape™ embodies the convergence of clean-label nutrition and science-backed functionality. Its natural bioactive composition—rich in antioxidant dietary fiber, polyphenols, and micronutrients—targets core metabolic functions including glycemic regulation, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation control. These are critical intervention points in the global fight against type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular conditions, and related metabolic disorders. POWDER HOUSE’s advanced size reduction technology—rooted in particle science—further amplifies the therapeutic efficacy of its functional ingredients. POWDER HOUSE’s ingredient features an ultrafine granulometry (~P90 = 20 µm), which enhances bioavailability and optimizes absorption kinetics. This pre-gastric size reduction technology not only preserves the integrity of the ingredient’s thermolabile molecules but also ensures maximum bioavailability—delivering results that are both reliable and beneficial to human health. In addition to its metabolic benefits, biogrape™ contains naturally occurring prebiotic fibers that modulate gut microbiota diversity and stability. This supports a healthier digestive ecosystem, facilitates nutrient absorption, and reinforces the bidirectional communication pathways between the gut, brain, and immune system. These microbiome-mediated effects are essential  for the regulation of inflammation, energy metabolism, and neuroimmune balance, thereby contributing to holistic well-being. By avoiding synthetic additives, artificial encapsulants, or solvent-based extractions, POWDER HOUSE ensures that its bioactive ingredients are inherently clean, safe, and compliant with regulations. From a human health perspective, biogrape™ aligns with rising consumer demand for natural and traceable products, while minimizing potential risks to human health. This commitment to purity and transparency makes POWDER HOUSE a trusted partner for the food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and nutricosmetic sectors aiming to reformulate toward preventive, functional, and clean-label solutions. Crucially, the company’s regenerative production model supports scalability without compromising ecological integrity—an important factor in enabling access to health-enhancing nutrition globally. By integrating sustainable sourcing, non-toxic manufacturing, and high-grade formulation into a single platform, POWDER HOUSE delivers functional ingredients that not only improve individual health but also contribute to the reduction of healthcare burdens, the promotion of wellness, and the systemic prevention of disease. In aligning cutting-edge science with sustainable manufacturing and innovative health strategies, POWDER HOUSE offers a replicable model for SDG 3 implementation. It demonstrates that nutrition can be reimagined as a primary instrument for global health advancement—one that mitigates the growing epidemic of chronic disease through proactive, scalable, and environmentally responsible innovation.
