    The global demand for resources already exceeds the Earth's biological production capacity by 20% and a significant increase in population is expected in the coming decades. This situation calls for a change in consumption patterns in order to achieve a reduction in the use of raw materials.

    We must move from a linear economy to a circular economy in which resources are guaranteed and waste generation is minimised.

    The food industry is a good example of how generated by-products can be subject to a circular economy.
