Sector Food Industry

Food industry

The food industry is all about speed, freshness, hygiene and volumes. At the same time, the pressure is increasing: from chain partners, legislation and margins. Waste and wastage directly affect your profitability and your reputation. But with limited time and capacity it is difficult to really get a grip on this.

Whether you are dealing with residual flows from production, distribution or return flows from the chain - we ensure that your waste management contributes to your continuity. Cleverly designed, fully compliant and without you having to manage every flow yourself.

From obligation to benefit

We see that many food companies want to improve on waste and wastage, but lack the capacity to organize it properly. Milgro helps you to do just that - without extra pressure on your team. You get insight into your waste streams through one dashboard, with clear reports for audits, legislation and chain responsibility. We think along about optimization, respond quickly to incidents and help save costs with a structured approach. So you meet today's requirements and build tomorrow's cooperation.

GMP+ gatekeeper: unique in residual stream management

GMP+ is an international quality assurance system for animal feed safety. Within this system, companies that process former foodstuffs can act as gatekeepers - provided they meet strict requirements. Milgro is one of the few parties allowed to fulfill this role. We check the quality and safety of incoming and outgoing residual streams and ensure that they meet all GMP+ standards. This allows you to focus on your core business while we take care of the testing, documentation and compliance. This prevents rejection, increases transparency and supports your sustainability goals.

In our white paper you can read how the sector is moving towards a circular approach - and what is still needed to achieve this.

Circularity Gap: the impact of food waste

In this episode of Commodity to Think, Gijs Derks and Ivar Hendriks - director and founder of Stockable - dive into the Circularity Gap: the gap between our current linear economy and a circular economy.

One of the biggest - and often underestimated - contributors to waste is the food industry. Worldwide, over a third of all food goes to waste each year. In this episode, we explore how food waste contributes to the Gircularity Gap and where the opportunities lie to prevent it.
