  Trotec processes food by-products of vegetable origin, that for whatever reason are not fit for human consumption, into high-quality feed ingredients. In doing so, Trotec offers food companies a sustainable solution for their production waste and unsold products. The inbound by-product flows may come in bulk (such as production waste) and packed goods (such as unsold produce or products rejected on the basis of quality). Trotec goes much further than simply processing food by-products: • We encourage every means and action to combat food waste • We subscribe to every sustainable consumption and production model. • Our ambition is to lead the technological field in every phase of processing • Our end product meets the highest quality standards • We actively work with the private, public and third sector that promote and pursue sustainability and the circular economy Show less
