Bakery waste from Lantm?nnen Unibake is used for fuel and feed ??

Around?a third of all food produced?for human consumption is lost or wasted from the farm to the fork. This huge level of inefficiency has economic, social, and environmental impacts.

Food, that ends up in a dumpster, has the same environmental footprint as food, that ends up in someone’s stomach. When food is wasted, the resources it takes to grow, harvest, process, produce, package and distribute food are also wasted.

From field to fork ?????

To fight this kind of food waste and make use of old burger buns and such, Lantm?nnen has built two recycling plants where they can handle food and bakery waste.

One of these recycling plants is located in the Finnish town of Kotka. Here all Lantm?nnen Unibake bakery waste in Finland is collected and dried up. Afterwards the waste gets processed. The bioethanol is used as climate-friendly biofuel – with up to 95 percent less CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuel. The starch is used as protein rich cattle feed, and the carbonic acid is used for the food industry.

The production of ethanol, feed and carbonic acid creates a circular business model for grain from field to fork with great climate benefits. ????
