Summary
The project was established to report on the funding for the project V.RDP.3010 – RRDfP Wastes to Profits.
Objectives
The objective of the Wastes to Profits Project is to develop technologies and business models for the conversion of wastes from the red meat, dairy, pork and municipal waste industries into valuable products resulting in productivity and profitability improvements for primary producers.
Key findings
On-farm, intensive feeding and processing sectors in Australian red meat, dairy and pork industries produce substantial quantities of organic waste with biogas energy potential that can meet the majority of estimated onsite energy demand within these sectors.
Benefits to industry
A significant project benefit has been the opportunity to collaborate on common issues for Meat & Livestock Australia, Australian Meat Processor Corporation, Dairy Australia and Australian Pork Limited.
