Florida, US, March 26, 2025 - Policane Co., LLC, a Florida-based food tech company developing sustainable sugar production, today announced a strategic partnership with Zero by Fifty, a global accelerator for climate-positive startups. The partnership aims to expand Policane’s patented sugarcane-based sweetener—a healthier, sustainable replacement for traditional refined sugar—in U.S. and international markets.
Policane is dehydrated sugar cane juice made using a patented process that retains key nutrients and policosanols, resulting in a sweetener with a dramatically lower glycemic impact. A recent study by IFP Suisse found that Policane has a low glycemic index, making it a strong candidate for health-focused food, beverage, and nutrition brands.
Additionally, SCS Global Services has certified Policane for its reduced carbon footprint, validating its contribution to more sustainable food production practices.
“We created Zero by Fifty to help the most promising climate solutions scale with purpose, and Policane is exactly that,” said Martin Gil, Managing Partner at Zero by Fifty. “It delivers performance, taste, and environmental responsibility all in one.”
Under the partnership, Zero by Fifty will support Policane with market positioning, business development, and key brand introductions. Together, the organizations plan to bring the sweetener to retailers, CPG companies, and global food and beverage brands seeking healthy and sustainable alternatives to refined sugar.
“Our goal has always been to deliver a better sugar—better for people and better for the planet,” said Jorge E. Gonzalez, CEO and Founder of Policane Co., LLC. “This partnership with Zero by Fifty gives us the strategic platform and network to scale our innovation globally.”
This alliance comes at a pivotal time, as both consumers and brands seek alternatives that meet rising demands for wellness, clean labels, and sustainability.
