OUR COMMITMENTS

We turn waste into value. Approximately 20% of the world's banana production is discarded for aesthetic reasons or due to quality standards. In Martinique, this represents 40,000 tons of bananas thrown away each year. Kadalys is committed to valorizing these "forgotten bananas" and their by-products (such as trunks, flowers, and leaves) by transforming them into high-performance cosmetic ingredients. This upcycling approach goes beyond traditional recycling by creating superior quality products, while minimizing environmental impact and contributing to the reduction of food waste—a key solution to climate change according to the Drawdown Project.

The circular economy is at the heart of our concerns. By valuing bananas discarded at every stage of their cycle, from plantation to supermarket, we are building an economy where nothing is lost, everything is transformed. This approach not only minimizes our environmental footprint but also supports the local economy of the Caribbean by transforming what was once considered waste into high-quality beauty products. Our virtuous model is based on a circular, responsible, and participatory economy.
