EQS-Adhoc: REPLOID Group AG: REPLOID Group AG and PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG are exploring a Europe-wide processing and distribution partnership.

Wels, 05.08.2025

At the beginning of June 2025, REPLOID Group AG ("REPLOID") signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding ("MoU") with PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG ("PreZero") and its subsidiary ("GreenCycle") regarding a potential future cooperation in the field of insect larvae processing and the development and distribution of insect-based products. Based on the key points set out in the MoU and following further constructive discussions, REPLOID and PreZero have agreed to examine the cooperation in greater depth, namely:

• Support in the planning, construction and implementation of an insect farming facility in Buchen (Baden-Württemberg) for the utilisation of food waste. The insect farming facility and a suitable processing plant are to be built by the end of 2026.
• Cooperation on the construction and operation of a processing plant for insect larvae and fertilisers, as well as for the distribution of raw materials derived from insects. A joint market presence (own brand) is planned.

PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG and GreenCycle GmbH are part of the internationally active Schwarz Group, one of the largest trading companies in the world. PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG and GreenCycle GmbH specialise in recycling and waste management and see considerable potential in the utilisation of food waste by insects and the development of sustainable solutions in recycling and energy management.
