In a year bout 11 million tons of food are disposed of in Germany - including products that would still have been edible. Bread and baked goods take up a leading position on the list of avoidable food waste, with a share of 14%, just behind fruit and vegetables.
Today's economic challenges have led many bakeries to look for ways to reduce their operating costs. Energy costs can be a significant part of these expenses, especially for bakeries that produce large quantities of baked goods on a daily basis. At the same time, companies are more and more looking to meet their environmental responsibilities and commit to more sustainability.
