Food waste
A huge amount of food waste is generated each year in the UK. Waste originates in homes, businesses, and the supply chain. The disposal of this waste uses up landfill space, releases greenhouse emissions, and costs us in transportation and landfill tax.
Due to the value and sheer volume of food waste, it is logical to see this waste as an opportunity rather than a problem. By using food waste to produce a product we can solve the problems of greenhouse emissions and financial loss that come with the waste.
