03 Jun 2024 --- The EU produced 160 million metric tons of raw milk in 2022 and the export-led demand for milk will escalate in the coming years, Eurostat figures indicate. This adds to the pressing global dairy waste issue, which Arla Foods Ingredients is addressing with upcycling concepts, along with meeting the growing demand for protein-rich foods. Each liter of milk production process generates about 2.5 liters of wastewater, which further exacerbates the sector’s environmental impact.
