One third of all the food we produce is thrown away. These ‘residual flows’ of food do not currently have a fully-fledged repurposing. They end up as waste or are used for green energy production. A new generation of designers is showing the enormous potential of these food wastes by converting them into high-quality building materials. By strengthening cooperation between the food and construction sectors, we reduce waste and create value again with what we don’t eat.
