Sustainability by Design

At KYO, sustainability begins with how we approach raw materials. Every part of the yuzu fruit has value, and our goal is to use it responsibly.

From By-Product to Ingredient

In conventional citrus processing, parts of the fruit such as peels and seeds are often discarded after the primary product is extracted. If left unused, these materials take years to naturally decompose and can create unnecessary environmental waste. At KYO, we treat these materials as valuable resources. Through careful processing, yuzu peels and seeds are transformed into functional ingredients used in food, cosmetic, and personal care applications. This approach reduces waste while extending the value of each harvested fruit.

Full-fruit Utilization

KYO’s sustainability approach is built around full-fruit utilization. By transforming different parts of the yuzu fruit into specialized ingredients, we maximize resource efficiency while supporting local agriculture. Our sourcing and processing model helps create a more responsible ingredient supply chain — one that values both environmental impact and long-term agricultural sustainability.
