Sustainable business models for valorizing food processing residues

There is a great potential in valorization of food processing residues (FPR) for developing new circular economy-based business models, which may have positive impacts on economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The best existing practices for this were collected by LAB University of Applied Sciences as part of the Waste4Soil project funded by Horizon Europe. Moreover, criteria for assessing good practices and the associated key economic, environmental, and social factors were defined. The results were presented in the form of a poster at the ISPIM Innovation Conference in Tallinn on 9.-12.6.2024.
