Upcycling food ‘is really one of the biggest opportunities facing the food industry’
“Upcycling food, or turning would-be wasted byproducts from one product into something delicious and nutritious for people, has emerged as one of the hottest trends in food and beverage in recent years with the market projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6% from $52b in 2022 to $83.26b by 2032.” By Elizabeth Crawford
If you ask us, upcycled food is more than just a trend – it’s a movement that’s gaining momentum in the food industry. As a CPG manufacturer or foodservice operator, you can be a part of this movement by incorporating upcycled ingredients into your products and menu items. We get into this and more in an extended interview with Food Navigator’s esteemed Elizabeth Crawford in the press room at Natural Products Expo West 2023.
