Waste Generated by Food Industry and Reuse in A Circular Economy Approach: The Whey Processing
Journal Title: Concepts of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The popularity of the circular economy is due to the increasing amount of waste-produced in the agro-food processing industry; new solution of waste recycling with biotech innovation are available. In the EU 3.5 ton per capita of waste are annually produced, including more than 400kg per person per year of domestic waste. The projections suggest that this increase at worldwide level, will continue at least until 2030 and there is no real evidence of decoupling between waste and economic growth despite progresses in waste recycling. While all sectors are potentially eligible for funding under the Eco-innovation initiative, certain activities have been singled out as priority areas because of their considerable impact on the environment and their potential contribution to meeting the EU’s own environmental objective. In the modern Agro-food system, the proper treatment of organic effluents to avoid their discharge as sewage water or sewage sludge, to prevent the pollution of the ground and water resources (oceans, lakes, rivers) is becoming especially important. Water is essential not only for direct uses, but also for ensuring the integrity of the ecosystems and the goods and services they provide to humans. The case we have considered is the whey, a by product of the cheese production, requiring urgent solutions to improve water efficiency and water quality used in the cycle.
