Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Global Whey Waste: Over 170 million tonnes of whey are produced annually, and the disposal of whey presents a significant environmental challenge.
Environmental Pollution: Whey is considered the most dangerous pollutant among food industry pollutants, with high Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels. Discharging whey into the sewerage system and natural waters is environmentally detrimental.
Inefficient Resource Utilization: Traditional methods of whey disposal fail to harness their potential, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
