We set out to fix waste. We ended up reinventing the ingredient.
The story of how ADAR became a premium ingredients company
ADAR began in 2022 with a problem no one had solved: mountains of wet organic material — manure, sludge, surplus produce — too costly to dry and too valuable to waste. Traditional drying was capital-intensive, fossil-fueled, and destroyed the very nutrients that made the material worth saving.
By 2024 we had built a working prototype in The Netherlands and tested it across more than seventy materials. And that’s when we saw what we really had. The powder coming out the other side wasn’t just dry — it was complete. Full nutritional profile. No odor. No pathogens. Shelf-stable. Something no thermal process had ever produced.
In 2025, ADAR Technologies was formed to bring that discovery to market — led by CEO Dan Kelly, COO Doug Farrington, and Technology Advisor Arie Bos, the visionary behind the process.
Today, ADAR is a premium ingredients company. We upcycle the world’s overlooked organic and mineral streams into the most nutrient-complete powder ingredients ever brought to market — and we sell them directly to the formulators and blenders who know the difference.
Our Focus
ADAR commercializes its technology two ways: we sell premium, spec-consistent powder ingredients directly to feed, pet food, fertilizer, fuel, and mineral markets under the ADAR family of brands — and through ADAR Environmental Services, we take over waste streams for generators at 50% of their current disposal cost, turning their liability into our feedstock.
Our Future
Our team is scaling production across a growing network of ADAR-powered sites, expanding the brand family from feed and fertilizer to fish meal, fuel, precious metals, and rare earth — all built on the same promise: 100% of the source’s value, retained.
