Solution Provider Showcase 4 | Byproducts to Brilliance: Solutions for Transforming Food Waste
Showcase
Be prepared to be inspired! Our Solution Provider Showcases feature inventive presentations, thought-provoking discussions, and opportunities to forge connections with like-minded individuals passionate about creating positive change in the food waste sector.
Food manufacturing often results in the creation of byproducts that end up being sent to landfill. But there are a number of emerging solutions that can transform these inputs into valuable materials and products that solve sustainability challenges for other industries. In this session, presenters will illustrate the transformative power of circular solutions in bolstering sustainability across multiple sectors.
