Lessons Learned

8

• Important to understand the long term role of an innovation in the low carbon transition – is it

scenario resilient or only viable under a narrow range of circumstances?

• Short term opportunities for commercial deployment are also important!

• Funding for first-of-a-kind commercial demonstrators is difficult – public funding through Research

Councils, Catapults, ETI and Government departments (e.g. DfT ABDC project) is often vital

• A careful and considered approach to scale-up is needed

• A stepwise or programme approach to technology development is more likely to build confidence

and drive innovation

…. and the implications of Brexit

• Inherently uncertain – but the UK has it’s own climate change commitments to deliver

• Opportunities to develop technologies and inform policy still exist - particularly in areas where Brexit

will force a policy rethink

• Will it be adopted

• Will it be transferred

40

Brexit: Impact on environmental legislationWhat will be in and what will be out

• The government is to end an

arrangement that allows other countries

to fish in UK waters, it has been

announced.

• Common Agricultural Policy

• Could there be impacts on this with

respect to food / commercial crops / GM

• Still significant unknowns…

41

Brexit: Impact on environmental legislationWhat will be in and what will be out

• Scotland and Wales have already taken

strong steps forward with environmental

legislation

• England has not moved and there is a

very clear Policy vacuum

• Existing legislation will be at least the

minimum we have…

manage green waste?

Deriving Increased Value from Food Waste & Co-

products

Dimitris Charalampopoulos

University of Reading

FoodWasteNet Director

www.foodwastenet.org

What is FoodWasteNet?• An active community of industrial practitioners and academic scientists dedicated

to creating economic value from pre-consumer food processing waste and by-products.

• One of 13 Networks in Industrial Biotechnology & Bioenergy, funded by BBSRC

• The Network runs for 5 years (2014-2019)

Food waste throughout the supply chain

Counting the cost of food waste: EU food waste prevention, House of Lords, European Union Committee, 2014

Why use food waste?

• It is a large potential feedstock for manufacture of higher value products

(3 Mt of food processing waste is produced each year in the UK)

• Reduce waste further

• Gain better economic value from waste and by-streams

• Opportunity to build the bio-based economy

• Develop alternatives to oil-derived chemicals e.g. bio-plastics, platform

chemicals, speciality chemicals

Case Study 1

Converting waste bread from sandwich industry to bioethanol

Industrial partner: University of Bath and Greencore Prepared Foods (sandwich

producer)

Background: 12.9 % of bread used in sandwich making is wasted and sent to AD (at cost

of £65 per ton) or diverted to low value animal feed

Project aim: Explore potential of bread waste as biofuel – to reduce waste management

costs and derive a higher value products.

Outcomes: Pilot study showed that bread waste could be successfully converted to

bioethanol and that the protein enriched residue could be a candidate for high value animal

feed

Case Study 2

Deriving value from pea-vine waste

Industrial partner: University of Nottingham and Green Pea Company

Project aim: Extract nutritionally-rich chemicals from inside chloroplasts in the cells of waste

pea vine plants

Outcomes: Useful nutrients can be extracted from chlorophyll in fresh pea vine waste:

particularly β-carotene (pro-vitamin A).

It is estimated that 30 million people in developing countries could receive their required

nutrient intake of vitamin A for a whole year if all the pea vine waste in the UK was processed

and the β-carotene extracted from individual cells.

Case Study 3

Exploring potential of rapeseed meal

Industrial partners: Glyndwr University, Larchwood Foods Ltd & Croda International

Project aim: Evaluate the how proteins in rapeseed meal could be extracted, enhanced

and used as foaming and emulsifying agents in personal care and cosmetic formulations

Outcomes: Proteins from cold-pressed rapeseed meal were found to be good

emulsifiers and could stabilise oil-in-water emulsions but had poor foaming properties.

Further treatment of the proteins yielded surfactants that were shown to be very effective

at reducing surface tension and able to form stable foams.

The materials show potential for use in personal care and cosmetic formulations.

husks in Indonesia: Technological, environmental and

socio-economic challenges of a value chain”,

2017-2019

BBSRC Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF)

Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development

• World’s 3rd largest cocoa producer

• Approx. 400,000 tonnes pa

• Low farming productivities and profitability

• Cocoa husks currently left on cocoa plantations

Address technological, environmental, economic and societal

challenges of developing a novel value chain for cocoa pod

husks

Key bottlenecks:

- Need to demonstrate process viability at scale

- Need to strengthen cross-links between stakeholders across the supply

chain including: food producers, chemical and industrial biotechnology

manufacturers, end users and consumers

- Investment costs

- Development of suitable business models

• Wales – mandatory food waste collection

• Scotland - >5kg food waste

• Investment in collection and treatment

infrastructure

• Anaerobic Digestion

• Targeting both municipal and commercial

food waste

• Increased quantities of food waste collected

77

Food waste…Implications…clear policy/clear benefit

• England

• No clear direction for the collection and

treatment of food waste over the past 10 years

• Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme (LATS) to

discourage Biodegradable Municipal Waste

(BMW) from going to landfill – tradable permit

scheme

• PFI / PPP schemes e.g. Mechanical &

Biological Treatment (MBT)

• LATS removed!!! No incentive

• Now in at least two cases food waste

collection schemes have been introduced

78

Food waste…Implications…muddled thinking

• Education and communication is a ley part of

developing and implementing a successful

food waste collection scheme

• Challenge with cuts to funding BUT cutting

communication short term gain – long term

implications

79

Food waste…Collection schemes

• Needs to be part of a well thought and

integrated collection system

• For example…do you collect food waste with

/ without garden waste

• Collection impacts treatment

• IVC / AD

80


• Full economics need to be considered

not just in isolation

• Haulage

• Reduced collection frequency

• Different collection rounds

• Collection vehicles

• Tipping costs (gatefee)

• Potential for return revenue e.g. energy

(electricity/gas)

• Commercial collections

81


• England

• No central direction

• Local decision for waste collection and

disposal authorities

• Scotland

• Yes, strong and effective process in place

• Wales

• Yes, strong and effective process in place
