Tackling Global Food Waste

Since 1989, ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É’s Biocomposites Centre has been turning plants into products, working with large multi-national companies to develop bio-based technologies that minimise impact on the environment.  

Its latest mission has been to save millions of tons of waste from food production. 

Research undertaken means residues from crops grown in the EU, including rapeseed, tomatoes and olives, much of which currently ends up in landfill or left to rot in the fields, can be used as a plant-based alternative to animal protein.
