Rebread's Crumbling the Barriers reports - snippet

Why SHOULD YOU CARE? BECAUSE EACH YEAR IN EUROPE:

15%

of bread produced never reaches consumers

~ 5 million tonnes

of produced bread is wasted in production and retail

€12.5 BILLION

worth of bread is thrown to the bin (consumer price)

7 MILLION TONNES CO²

is emitted and lost to the food system due to upstream bread loss & waste

THE GOOD NEWS IS...

Bakery surplus and side streams are a CLEAN, EASY-TO-PROCESS and STANDARDIZED raw material. After appropriate processing (e.g. crushing), waste bread becomes useful for many innovative industrial processes.

By 2040, we envision a world where bread waste is eliminated across the supply chain, leading to a significant decrease in resource consumption, environmental impact, and production costs. Where sustainable practices are the norm.
