What Agricom does

Agricom S.r.l. Unipersonale is a privately held Italian circular-economy operator founded circa 1990 in Fossalta di Piave (Veneto) by owner Giorgio Daniel. The company recovers food-industry by-products — primarily from bread, pasta, biscuit, and confectionery producers — and converts them into three core product lines: circular animal feeds (Mangimi circolari, including the Cerealbis line), certified advanced biomasses for biofuels and biomethane plants (Biomasse sostenibili), and circular pet food inputs. Processing occurs at the Fossalta di Piave facility, with a secondary operational site at Monastier di Treviso that houses the Ama-zonia wood-waste subsidiary.

The business is built around a 100% circular model in which Agricom purchases or collects production waste that would otherwise incur disposal costs, then sells the transformed output to industrial buyers: dairy and livestock farmers (over half of whom operate dairy operations), biogas/biomethane plant operators, and pet food manufacturers. Distribution is supported by a wholly-owned logistics subsidiary, D&G Log S.r.l., operating a fleet of over 20 specialized trucks and accounting for roughly 60% of cereal-waste handling in Northern Italy. Agricom was the first company in Italy to obtain certification for advanced biomasses for sustainable biofuels and bioliquids, holds ISO 14001 (via Ama-zonia) and ISO 45001 (via D&G Log), and maintains a patented VuotaVasetti machine for recovering organic material from jars. Internal R&D is conducted through AgricomLab (established 2018) in collaboration with IUAV Università di Venezia, with whom it has published LCA-verified environmental impact data.

Agricom serves three primary B2B segments — industrial food producers (waste suppliers), livestock farmers (circular feed buyers), and bioenergy plant operators (biomass buyers) — and operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion. The company is family-controlled with no external institutional investors, a fully paid-in share capital of €500,000, and a lean management team led by Sustainability Manager Clelia Daniel and COO Luca Varnier. Geographic scope is currently limited to Northern Italy.

Revenue model

1. Animal Feed Sales: Sale of circular animal feeds (mangimi circolari) derived from former food products to livestock farmers, particularly dairy cow farmers. Products include Cerealbis and other complementary feeds containing cooked starches that enhance digestibility and milk production.
2. Sustainable Biomass Sales: Sale of certified advanced biomasses for bioenergy production to biogas and biomethane plants. Products include farinetta, broken seeds, bakery/pasta/confectionery by-products, straw, chaff, and corn cobs.
3. Pet Food Circular Products: Circular economy-derived pet food products (Pet Food circolare) made from recovered food industry by-products.
4. Logistics Services: Through controlled partner D&G Log, the company provides circular logistics services including collection, transport, and recovery of food industry by-products using specialized vehicles.

Core offering

Agricom recovers food industry by-products (bakery, pasta, biscuit, confectionery, cereal processing waste) from agro-industrial producers and transforms them into circular animal feed preparations (mangimi circolari) for livestock such as dairy cows, certified advanced biomass for bioenergy and biomethane plants (biomasse sostenibili), and circular pet food ingredients (pet food circolare). The company operates processing facilities in Fossalta di Piave that collect, sort, screen, and mix former food products into safe circular products, with collection and delivery handled through its controlled logistics subsidiary D&G Log.

Product overview

Agricom is a circular economy company offering a portfolio of three main product lines: (1) Circular Feeds (Mangimi circolari) - animal nutrition products derived from food industry by-products, featuring cooked starches for high digestibility; (2) Sustainable Biomass (Biomasse sostenibili) - certified advanced biomasses for biofuels and bioliquids including farinetta, broken seeds, and agricultural by-products; and (3) Circular Pet Food (Pet Food circolare). The company also developed patented machinery (VuotaVasetti) for organic material recovery. Recent innovation includes Farinetta 4.3 for biogas production. All products operate within a closed-loop circular economy model, transforming food industry waste into valuable feed, biomass, and energy resources.
