Annually, 15% of bread produced in Europe is wasted before reaching consumers, accumulating over 5 million tons of waste, amounting to a 12.5 billion EUR in losses (consumer price of unsold bread) and emitting 7 million tons of CO2. Through product innovation, like bread-based mycoprotein ingredients and non-dairy probiotic drinks, alongside supply chain innovation that connects suppliers directly with recipients, we are creating a unique ecosystem for upcycling bread waste. Our solution stands out due to its focus on impact, scalability, and a collaborative model that caters to both large industrial players and SMEs, whom we respectively provide with tailor-made R&D services and ready to implement circular production toolkit.
