"Food waste is a global problem with approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of food
wasted each year throughout the food lifecycle – from the farm to food
manufacturers and households.
Across the food supply chain, Australians waste around 7.6 million tonnes of
food each year. This costs our economy approximately A$36.6 billion annually.
In a recent study published in
Bioresource Technology Reports, we have found
a way to use food waste for making a versatile material known as nanocellulose.
In particular, we used acid whey – a significant dairy production waste
material that it usually difficult to dispose of."
