Description

It is a fact that a large share of our food is wasted. It is also a fact that we are constantly producing new things with valuable resources and often throwing them away after only one use. The meat industry, can help, as it is currently still destroying around 46% of the components that are produced during slaughter. The focus is on the large quantities of bones which, with modern processing techniques, could help to replace other, harmful materials to a considerable extent. Bone mixtures have been developed for this purpose, with different properties depending on the mixing ratio.
