A SYSTEM THAT WORKS
In the biosphere value can be
abundant and powered by the
sun.
This requires three things:

A SYSTEM THAT WORKS
1. Maintaining the integrity of
natural systems (which are
complex and
interdependent).

A SYSTEM THAT WORKS
2. Returning nutrients
appropriately to the soil.

A SYSTEM THAT WORKS
3. Preventing toxic materials
from entering the system and

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

legislation will transfer across
• Circular Economy package
• Will it be finished
• Will it be adopted
• Will it be transferred
40
What 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
What 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.

“Development of novel value chain from cocoa pod
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

• Scotland and Wales have very clear policies
in place for the collection and treatment of
food waste
• 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
Food waste…
Collection schemes

• 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
Food waste…
Collection schemes

• 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

“Breathaboard is
just like the
conventional boards
to install.”

Tom Lacey, Director, Barr Gazettas.
“We were drawn to Adaptavate because
the products are low carbon, recyclable
& have the potential to have a real
positive impact on staff Health &
Wellbeing. The products were easy to
use and we were able to achieve a
good, professional level of finish."
