Formulation of added value pet nutrition products from food waste

一项技术和可行性研究作为试点，研究和测试工业共生的机会，利用食品行业的废食物流和副产品来生产强化宠物营养。食品加工操作产生的废物可占最初生产的食物的30%。这可能用于堆肥或厌氧消化/沼气生产，其体积位于地理位置以提供可扩展性，否则这些废流可能作为商业废物被焚烧或填埋/处置。已经确定了将这些废流从处置路线中移除并进行进一步处理和增值并充分用作原料的机会，以建立可持续的供应链和脱碳废流。这项工作建立在配料来源、食品加工和宠物营养团队的坚实基础知识基础上，其中配料来源、食品加工和循环将直接取代来自远东和中东欧的不可持续的延伸供应链。这一创新是新的，它利用了废弃的食物流和副产品，减少垃圾填埋量，减少二氧化碳排放，在100%利用自然资源的情况下实现净零。

A technical and feasibility study as a pilot to research and test the opportunities for industrial symbiosis utilising waste food streams and co-products from the food industry to produce enhanced pet nutrition.Waste from food processing operations can amount to 30% of the food initially produced. This may go for composting, or anaerobic digestion/biogas production where volumes are geographically located to give scalability, otherwise these waste streams may go for incineration or landfill/disposal as commercial waste.Opportunities have been identified for these waste streams to be removed from the disposal route and be further processed and value added and fully utilised as a feedstock to build sustainable supply chains and decarbonise waste streams.This work builds on a sound base knowledge within the team of ingredient sourcing, food processing and pet nutrition where valorisation and circularity will directly replace unsustainable extended supply chains from the far East and central-Eastern Europe.This innovation is new, it utilises waste food streams and co-products, returns reduced landfill, reduced CO2 and works towards net zero with 100% utilisation of natural resources.
