Today’s conversation with Nick Taylor from Wittington Ventures and Ben Gibbons from Waterpoint Lane is key to developing integrated #bioconversion approaches driven by user demand. #wasteCANcreate

Successful circular #bioconversion solutions require a circular village: today is a microcosm of the goal of #wasteCANcreate , gathering stakeholders from every step of the value chain to brainstorm #circular solutions

Today’s first collaborative session just started with a talk from Dr. Bryan Quoc Le, talking about the Good Food Institute’s recent report “Cultivating alternative proteins from commodity crop side streams” #wasteCANcreate

Kicking off the #wasteCANcreate Summit! We are looking forward to talking about #circulareconomy with representatives from across the value chain. Bettina Hamelin
