Description
If you live in or have been to the UK, you may know that they have the biggest sandwich industry in the world: 80 million pre-made sandwiches are sold every year! During production, the crust and ends of the loaf are cut off and thrown away because they can’t be used in the sandwich. So what can we do about all this bread waste?
In this Episode of Sustainability Champions (formerly Sustainability Matters Today), I speak with Louisa Ziane, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Toast Ale, and Champion of Sustainable Beers.
Toast Ale is a UK brewery that takes the unused ends of bread from the sandwich industry and uses it to replace virgin barley, to create amazing “planet-saving” lagers, pale ales, and IPAs. Having already saved almost 2 million slices of bread from being thrown away, they also act as a social enterprise, donating all of their profits to charities in order to ultimately deliver systemic change to fix the food system.
Their bread-beer recipe is also open to the public so hobby brewers can make their own beer. Plus they’re constantly collaborating with other breweries around the world: from the US to the Netherlands to Iceland - their goal of reducing wasted food is really picking up speed! And if all that isn’t enough, the beer is delicious and is stocked in some of the UK’s biggest supermarkets!
