Bakeries
Industrial bakeries are large-scale companies that produce large quantities of bread, pastries and other bakery products on a commercial basis. They typically supply supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and other customers within the food industry.

Challenges with food waste in industrial bakeries
1. Overproduction
To meet variable customer demand, more is often produced than can be sold, leading to surpluses.
2. Production errors:
Incorrect composition of ingredients, technical failures or errors in the production process can lead to batches that do not meet quality requirements and are therefore discarded.
3. Outdated stock:
Products that reach the expiry date without being sold must be disposed of.
4. Shop returns:
Unsold products returned from supermarkets and other sales channels often end up in the waste stream.
5. Residual and production losses, dough and baking losses, cut and shape losses:
The production and cutting and forming of products creates waste which is not used.
6. Incorrect predictions:
Inefficiencies in demand forecasting lead to a mismatch between production and actual sales.
7. Environmental impact:
Discarding food contributes to greenhouse gas emissions during both production and disposal, which has a negative impact on the environment.
8. Economic losses:
The cost of raw materials, labour and energy spent on producing unused food leads to economic losses.
Solution
By deploying the Ecocreation Ecodigester, on-site industrial bakeries can convert all bakery waste into animal feed, which can be sold to animal feed producers, or into soil improver, which can be used in growing grain. This creates short circular chains that benefit everyone.
Industrial bakeries thus reduce their food waste, reduce their carbon footprint, save costs and make a positive contribution to the environment.
The advantages:
Organic waste
becomes a valuable raw material: compost
Less waste
so less costs
Less transport
so less pollution
Less fertilizer needed
thus less depletion of fossil resources and less pollution
CO2
reduce your CO2 emissions
Proud employees
involved relations/suppliers and enthusiastic customers
