I love when companies come together for a common purpose. Be it marketing off each others tweets, helping out with shout outs, or finding sustainable ways to do business. Collaboration is key to the success of any business. One such collab between Trashy and Evolution Fresh is ensuring a sustainable way to handle by-products of juice making. #collaboration #sustainability

A great circular project. And, an easy example to use to explain circular economies in action...using waste in higher value applications and then treating other waste to ensure that ecosystems are not damaged by industry. Boom!

🌾 From biryani to risotto, paella to tahdig, rice makes up many staple dishes. It serves as a cultural touchstone, shaping traditions, rituals, and culinary identities for diverse communities all around the world. More than 3.5 billion people eat it regularly and for many, it's not just a source of sustenance, but an integral part of life. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a staple food is consumed regularly and provides a significant portion of the energy and nutrients in a population's diet. Rice IS a staple. But the significance of rice extends far beyond the kitchen table. It's a cornerstone of global trade and economic development. 150 million smallholder farmers depend on the production of rice and for 3.5 billion people rice is a life source. However, at every stage of rice production waste occurs.  Rice should be cultivated with maximum resource efficiency in mind. Instead of following a linear production system, circular rice maximizes every part of the plant for productive uses reducing waste considerably.  Rice is consumed on a monumental scale. The more we produce the more we waste. This week we will explore what exactly is wasted, the implications of this waste, and solutions to recapture valuable resources.  For more information about staple diets: https://lnkd.in/ep9Bgx5S #CircularRice  #ResourcefulRice #BeyondTheGrain

🌱Happy World Plant Milk Day 2024! 🥛 As we celebrate this incredible day, let's take a moment to appreciate how plant milk is transforming our lives and our planet. Plant milks are made from a variety of plants, including soybeans, oats, almonds, and coconuts. They are a great source of nutrients, such as protein, calcium, and iron. They are also lower in calories and fat than dairy milk. This day was first introduced in 2017 by Robbie Lockie who was a co-founder of Plant Based News. They are a lifestyle choice that supports sustainability, health, and compassion. Switching to plant milk can reduce our carbon footprint, save water, and promote better health. It’s about making small changes that have a huge impact. Whether you're sipping on your morning latte or blending a smoothie, every glass of plant milk is a step toward a greener future. 🌍💚 So today, let's raise our glasses to plant milk! Which one is your favorite, and how are you celebrating? Share your thoughts and let’s spread the love for plant-based living! #WorldPlantMilkDay #PlantBasedLiving #Sustainability #HealthierChoices #GreenFuture

High-Protein Salad: A Culinary Innovation from Industrial Coffee Wastewater Treatment The coffee industry is notorious for its high water consumption, resulting in significant amounts of wastewater that often go untreated. If left unchecked, this contaminated water can lead to pollution and the degradation of our precious water sources, posing a serious threat to the environment. However, there is a silver lining. By utilizing natural water treatment methods, we can foster the growth of freshwater algae, effectively transforming wastewater into a valuable source of nutrition. Today, we are excited to introduce a delightful salad featuring “Paam” algae, also known as wolffia, a traditional delicacy from Northern Thailand. This remarkable algae has served as a vital protein source for the local community for generations. When we nurture our environment, it reciprocates by providing us with nourishment and sustenance. Join Us in Embracing Sustainable Solutions Let’s celebrate the synergy between nature and innovation, paving the way for a healthier future. #nature #climatechange #futurefood #protiensource #coffee #wastewater #watertreatment
