In a groundbreaking article in the November 2021 issue of National Geographic, GST takes center stage for its pioneering work in transforming food waste into sustainable cooking oil.
Authored by Julia Graven, the article highlights how GST is leading an eco-friendly revolution in the food industry.
Key Points from the National Geographic Article:
From Waste to Oil: The article sheds light on GST’s innovative approach to utilizing food waste, particularly leftover bread, to produce cooking oil. Professor Thomas Brück and Dr. Mahmoud Masri are at the forefront of this transformative process. Replacing Controversial Palm Oil: With the devastating environmental impact of palm oil production in mind, National Geographic emphasizes GST’s goal to replace palm oil with a sustainable alternative derived from old bread. The process involves using special yeast cells to convert sugars from carbohydrates in old bread into oil. Circular Bioeconomy: GST envisions a circular bioeconomy that leverages market surplus and reduces the consumption of land and resources. The article highlights the potential of this approach to replace conventional oilseed monocultures with modern bioproduction. Market Entry: To bring this revolutionary cooking oil to the market, Mahmoud Masri has founded the spin-off from TU Munich called Global Sustainable Transformation GST GmbH. Collaboration with local businesses will make yeast oil production economically viable on a larger scale.

The relentless expansion of plantations poses a threat to global biodiversity and contributes to climate change. However, hope emerges as alternatives to the exploitation of nature come to light. GST is at the forefront of this movement, as highlighted in the article from plan b (zdf) from the 27.10.2022, showcasing how oils derived from waste and palm oil alternatives are revolutionizing the industry.

GST – Global Sustainable Transformation
We are excited to announce that GST – Global Sustainable Transformation won second place at the TUM IdeAward yesterday. GST has developed an innovative technology platform for the sustainable production of yeast oil, providing an eco-friendly and economical alternative to palm oil.
Sustainable Alternative to Palm Oil
Palm oil is the most consumed vegetable oil globally, but its cultivation causes significant ecological and social problems. GST offers yeast oil as an identical yet more sustainable alternative. This technology does not use genetically modified organisms or toxic solvents, and the oil can be used directly thanks to its high oxidation stability.
Award at the TUM IdeAward
The TUM IdeAward, presented by TUM, UnternehmerTUM, and the Zeidler Research Foundation, recognizes the best technology-based startup ideas from the university. GST impressed the jury with its sustainable technology platform and secured second place.
This recognition underscores GST’s potential to play a leading role in sustainable production technology.
