We are delighted to announce that GST has been selected as a finalist in the MassChallenge Sustainable Food & Materials Challenge 2026.
This recognition confirms our commitment to actively shaping the transition toward more sustainable food systems through innovative biotechnological solutions. At the heart of our research and development are yeast-based cocoa butter equivalents (CBE). Using modern biotechnology, we are developing sustainable alternatives to conventional cocoa butter that can help reduce pressure on agricultural resources while enabling a reliable, scalable raw material supply for the food industry.
Our special thanks go to the entire MassChallenge team, the mentors, the partners, and all supporters who made this success possible. We look forward to presenting our vision in the final competition phase and exchanging ideas with other innovators who are actively shaping the future of sustainable food and materials.

Over the past few weeks, Global Sustainable Transformation (GST) GmbH had the opportunity to participate in two pioneering research project meetings. Both projects impressively demonstrate how scientific collaboration and biotechnological innovations can accelerate the transition toward a circular bioeconomy.
MYCOCIRCLE: Valuable raw materials from mushroom production side streams
At the end of March, the project partners of the European research project MYCOCIRCLE met in Demjén, Hungary. The focus was on the next development steps for utilizing side streams from mushroom production to manufacture high-quality cosmetic ingredients. The goal is to develop sustainable alternatives to animal-based raw materials and efficiently convert previously unused biomass into high-quality bio-based products.
The intensive professional exchange with the project partners once again highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for developing innovative and sustainable solutions. Another particularly pleasing development is the launch of the official MYCOCIRCLE project website, which will provide information on progress and research results in the future.
UrbanHeatCycle: Bio-heating oil from municipal waste streams
In mid-April, GST participated in the project meeting for the UrbanHeatCycle research project in Straubing. Together with the project partners, innovative processes are being developed to convert municipal waste streams from the greater Munich area into bio-based heating oil.
The project aims to use previously untapped waste streams as a valuable resource, increase resource efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable urban energy supply. At the same time, fossil fuels are to be gradually replaced by bio-based alternatives.
Shared goals for a sustainable future
Whether MYCOCIRCLE or UrbanHeatCycle – both research projects share a common vision:
- Utilizing waste and side streams as valuable sources of raw materials
- Reducing dependence on fossil and animal-based raw materials
- Promoting circular and resource-efficient production systems
- Using modern biotechnology to develop sustainable industrial solutions
The projects impressively illustrate the potential inherent in close cooperation between science, industry, and public institutions. Together, innovative technologies are emerging that transform ecological challenges into sustainable economic opportunities.
GST GmbH is proud to be part of these forward-looking research initiatives and to make an active contribution to the development of a resource-efficient, climate-friendly, and resilient bioeconomy with its biotechnological expertise.
