Did you know that craft breweries generate enough leftover grain (commonly called "spent grain") to feed the world? According to https://ow.ly/MpWL50PcvsG, in 2021 208 million barrels of beer were produced in the U.S. Each barrel is 31 gallons, and each gallon of beer produces between 1 - 2 pounds of spent grain which averages out to be 9.6 billion pounds of spent grain produced in the U.S alone. What happens with the leftover grain? Typically, it gets hauled off to a landfill or by farmers to be used as animal feed, but as the brewing industry grows, more spent grain is being produced than the farmers can use. Since spent grain contains proteins that are rich in lipids and fiber it has a lot of nutritional value and letting it go to waste seems, well, wasteful. Instead of letting spent grain go to waste, it can be upcycled into nutritious, shelf-stable ingredients for both human and animal consumption. As you can imagine from the amount of spent grain produced by U.S. breweries alone, there's enough produced globally to be upcycled and feed the world. 🌍🌾🍺 #foodupcycling #spentgrain #upcycling #climatechange #upcycledfood #sustainablefood #sustainablefoodsystems #healthyplanet #circularfoodeconomy

Sedron can help solve that problem!

Grain fact: craft breweries generate enough leftover grain (often called "spent grain") to feed the world. According to NWBA.com, in 2021 208 million barrels of beer were produced in the U.S. Each barrel is 31 gallons and each gallon of beer produces 1 to 2 pounds of spent grain, which averages out to be 9.6 billion pounds of spent grain produced in the U.S alone.

Since spent grain contains proteins that are rich in lipids and fiber it has a lot of nutritional value and letting it go to waste seems, well, wasteful. That's where upcycling comes in because it offers a solution to salvage the spent grain and convert it into nutritious, shelf-stable ingredients. And, there's enough spent grain produced globally that can be upcycled and feed the world. 🌍🌾🍺 #ESG #sustainablebusiness #upcycledfood #upcycle #upcycled #sustainablesnacks #spentgrain #sustainablefoodsystems #healthyplanet #circulareconomy #circularfoodeconomy

Nim's Fruit Crisps ‘#ZeroFoodWaste' success triggers new product launches! 🚀 📈 Achieving ‘zero food waste' has helped a specialist #Manufacturer of air-dried fruit and vegetable crisps launch new products and enjoy a near 20% boost in turnover. 🍏 Nim's Fruit Crisps uses over 600 tonnes of fresh produce every year and 95% of that is classed as rescued or wonky and wouldn't be sold on the shelves of #Supermarkets across the country. 🥕 The Sittingbourne-based company, which employs 18 people, has developed a process that means all this #FruitAndVeg is used in its range of crisps, drinks, garnishes, and edible teas. 🛠️ Investing £30,000 into a new machine to offer bespoke formats, including fruit and vegetable powders, has also unlocked a host of new ingredients and garnishes. To find out more on Nim's Fruit Crisps recent success and #NewProducts, head over to BBP Media's homepage or click the link below! 👇 https://lnkd.in/e7AxvA-j #BusinessSustainability #CarbonReduction #ESG #ZeroWaste #FoodWaste #NewProductLaunch #BusinessSuccess #ProductLaunch #NewMachinery

Whey to go, craft distillers! Use those byproducts for sustainable spirits! I'm a fermenter at heart. I love it. I always wonder how much sugar gets wasted each year. I think about it when I walk past my neighbor's apple tree, which is filled with rotting fruit, and when I buy cheese curds. The US produces a lot of milk and whey. When any sugars are available in something, like the lactose left over in whey, an often discarded byproduct of cheesemaking, you can ferment and distill it! I saw this global trend of whey being utilized heavily to produce spirits in New Zealand, where industrial distillers use whey to make bulk ethanol (alcohol base for spirits like gin and vodka), which was made from whey and sold to distilleries and other industries. We could be doing more of the same thing here in the US; we have many ethanol producers and plants, but alas, byproducts are made for discarding, and our corn monoculture is strong and growing...

𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 🌎 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝: As craft brewing has expanded worldwide, brewers demand top-quality malt barley to make unique, premium products. They seek consistent, high-grade grains, focusing on flavor and quality rather than sheer quantity. 🍻 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲: This shift is pushing farmers and malt houses to focus on quality-based segregation. Lower quality barley just doesn’t meet the needs of brewers, which is why premium barley is in high demand, even if it means smaller yields. 📉 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: For farmers, achieving high quality is costly and labor-intensive, but it can mean better prices. For malt houses, quality issues lead to downgraded material, higher sourcing costs, and potentially strained relationships with both farmers and breweries. 🎯 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐨𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭™ 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬: Our technology can separate barley based on internal quality characteristics like protein content, ensuring that malt houses work with more consistent and homogenous barley. This means fewer quality issues during production, improved malting efficiency, and ultimately a more reliable product for brewers and consumers alike. Brewers get the premium raw material they need, and farmers get better returns. 🚀 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭: A win-win for farmers and malt houses. With BoMill InSight™, quality is no longer a barrier, it’s an advantage. More satisfied brewers, better prices for farmers, and a resilient supply chain for the craft beer industry.

According to the Zero Carbon Roadmap For Brewing, agriculture & raw material processing are one of the top priorities for breweries in #decarbonization efforts (Zero Carbon Forum, 2022). Brussels Beer Project is leading the charge with their Babylone beer.  In the production of the beer 20% of the malt is replaced by unsold fresh bread, which gives the beer a pleasantly toasty touch. In other words, each bottle saves 2 slices of 🍞 from going to waste. That adds up to 10 tonnes of surplus bread saved annually, thanks to their efforts! Other #missiondriven companies that make a good use of the valuable bakery surpluses can be found in our "Crumbling The Barriers" report 👇 https://lnkd.in/eaWKyjmS
