"The industry has tried to find ways to make use of its residues to create a more circular food production for a long time. Residues that go to animal feed or are burned as biogas serve a purpose but do not solve the issue of a circular food system that needs to feed more people in the long run. Our investment in research and innovation has paid off, the technology works, and we are now ready to scale up. We hope our circular production model will inspire the industry, and we welcome collaboration with other food companies to develop the foods of the future. By utilizing residues we can feed more people, reduce environmental impact, and boost profitability." – Johan Girdo, CEO at The Green Dairy . This article is in Swedish.

Can crackers have a conscience? Absolutely! At Agrain by Circular Food Technology, we're changing the game when it comes to food loss. It starts with something as simple as grains. These so-called 'spent' grains aren't really spent. Once the starch is removed in the brewing process, they're still bursting with fiber and protein. That's where we come in. We collect these grains from Danish breweries, including Bryghuset Møn, and that's where our partnership with Bisca A/S begins.   Bisca has created the Møn series of crackers, where delicious meets sustainable. The crackers, like Dark Sky and Rye, go beyond taste. They're about local sourcing, supporting the Møn community, and caring for the environment by utilizing Bryghuset Møn's grain by-products. This is food upcycling at its finest. This initiative is more than just developing food. It's about innovative thinking and preparing for a more sustainable future. It's being mindful of our resources and making choices that respect the environment while creating something people love.   What steps are you taking towards a sustainable future?

#ProjectCircle from The HEINEKEN Company This is circularity already at scale - just imagine when this goes global, then aped by all the other breweries. But please leave some spent grain for Arda Biomaterials 🌾 Project Circle utilizes innovative #technology to separate BSG into #fibers and #proteins, which are then repurposed for various applications. Proteins are refined to over 70% concentration for potential food-related uses, while fibers are used to produce #RenewableEnergy. This #closedloop system not only reduces waste but also contributes to the #decarbonization of HEINEKEN’s breweries. The first phase of Project Circle is currently being implemented at HEINEKEN France’s brewery in Mons-en-Barœul, with full operation expected by 2025. This pilot site is estimated to achieve a 50% reduction in CO2 #emissions by 2025, demonstrating the significant #environmental impact of the project.
