Surplus food, upcycled

Animal Feed

Your surplus food is a valuable asset with a real role to play in the circular economy. We help you unlock that value — and the savings that come with it — by converting starch-rich foods into premium animal feed.

Surplus biscuits, bread and breakfast cereals processed into animal feed.

Overview

Dry foods such as biscuits, bread, cakes, confectionery and breakfast cereals are particularly well suited to recovery, reprocessing and conversion into feed.

By recovering and upcycling these nutritious resources, we keep excess food out of landfill and inside the food and feed network where it belongs.

We work with food manufacturers, distributors and retailers to recover surplus materials and transform them into nutritionally balanced, high-performance animal feed ingredients. Our process is designed to retain valuable nutrients in the feed chain rather than seeing them wasted.
