In recent years, side streams have become a hot topic in the dairy industry, as rising awareness on minimizing waste and utilizing hidden and unused resources in all areas have become key issues. The seminar will focus on how the side streams, to include raw materials, water, and energy available at the dairy, can be identified by using, e.g., mass balance tools. Add to this, how such side streams can be converted into value, thereby protecting the environment and minimizing resource consumption at the dairy.

A number of players in the dairy industry will contribute with presentations on specific input relative to optimal resource utilization of, e.g., acid whey and the milk’s minerals, through both known and new methods. In addition, speakers from other industries will provide inspiration for uncovering hidden resources.
