The European Former Foodstuff Processors Association (EFFPA) has unveiled its newly designed website, offering an updated representation of the former foodstuff processing sector. This revamped platform emphasizes the sector's dedication to preventing food waste by transforming food losses from manufacturers and retailers into sustainable animal feed.
The new website reflects EFFPA’s ongoing commitment to:
- Feed Safety and Nutrition: Highlighting the sector's expertise in producing safe, high-quality animal feed
- Circular and Low-Carbon Footprint Feed: Drawing attention to the role of circular feed as a key sustainability metric in feed production
Driving a Circular Economy in Livestock Production
With feed production accounting for a significant share of livestock farming’s environmental impact, EFFPA promotes circular feed solutions to address these challenges. By repurposing by-products from food production that would otherwise become waste, the association contributes to:
- Food Waste Reduction: Diverting food losses into valuable animal feed
- Sustainability Goals: Supporting a circular economy and lowering the environmental footprint of feed production
EFFPA's efforts align with the growing demand for sustainable practices in livestock production, advancing circular bioeconomy principles to benefit both the environment and the food system.
EFFPA President Alexander Romme says: “The launch of a new website is a good opportunity to again raise awareness of the value of the former foodstuff processing sector in driving the circular bioeconomy, food waste reduction, and reduced environmental impacts. With the arrival of the new European Commission, we strive for our contributions to be considered of strategic importance in meeting multiple policy ambitions regarding sustainability and reduced import reliance.”
The association’s updated online presence underlines its critical role in supporting EU policy goals related to sustainability, food waste reduction and the promotion of a resilient and sustainable food system.
