Distressed Cargo Solutions
The food ingredient supply chain is intricate, involving the production and processing of ingredients that are exported from their origin countries, imported into destination countries, and distributed to consumers or industrial food manufacturers. This complex chain is not perfectly efficient, resulting in side products that organizations often cannot utilize. This inefficiency contributes to the staggering amount of 88 million tonnes of food waste annually across the European Union.
At KTC BV, we are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative distressed cargo solutions. Our approach includes:
- Finding New Uses: Identifying alternative uses or new clients for ingredients that are no longer suitable for their original purpose but can be repurposed effectively.
- Reprocessing and Recycling: Transforming unusable foods into valuable ingredients through reprocessing, thus supporting food waste reduction and promoting a circular economy.
- Utilizing Side Streams: Exploring creative ways to repurpose by-products from food ingredient processing, such as: outfall from cleaning ingredients to a specific purity level, repurposing nut shells, or using fruit not suitable for supermarket shelves.
