Cereal Waste and Valorisation

Report: The potential of cereal by-products for a biobased circular economy



Details


This report explores the potential use for cereal waste and by-products.


After harvesting cereal crops like wheat, barley, and oats, there are often residues like

straw and chaff that can be considered as crop waste.


Depending on the type of crops grown and agricultural practices, there might be

additional biomass residues like straw, husks, or stalks.


Cereal waste such as straw and bran can be utilised in animal feed, bioenergy, and

biomaterials. The industry benefits from these by-products by reducing waste and

generating alternative revenue streams.


This report is an extract from a wider publication looking at the potential for agricultural and horticultural waste for a biobased circular economy in South East England. The full report explores opportunities for vegetable, fruit, hop, grape, and mushroom waste valorisation.
