Reuse2Recreate Food: Developing new product concepts from bakery and/or fruit side streams

Roughly one-third of the food products for human consumption is never eaten, while the agri-food industry is under pressure to produce more food using less resources.

Utilizing side streams present an opportunity to achieve that.

The Reuse2Recreate program will focus on the valorization of bakery and/or fruit side streams.

University student teams (B.Sc, M.Sc, PhD) are invited to join the program to develop their novel product concept by using

  • bakery side-streams, and/or
  • fruit production side-streams
    with special attention to food safety, processability and economic viability of the product concept.

The student teams will be supported by their university mentors and the participating industry partners.
