Good Practice from Poland: The New Life of Bread

During the BIOECO-UP project partner meeting, we had the chance to visit REBREAD, and we were truly impressed by their commitment and creativity in waste reduction and sustainability. The story of REBREAD began with a simple yet remarkable idea: how to repurpose unused bread that would otherwise be thrown away. Since then, they have become true pioneers in this field, creating impressive products that give bakery leftovers a new life.

During our visit, we got an inside look at how they craft distilled spirits from surplus bread collected from local bakeries. Beyond alcoholic beverages, they have introduced several other innovative ideas: using bread waste as a base for cosmetics, soft drinks, and even biodegradable packaging.

REBREAD doesn’t only produce products; they also develop technologies that they can license to enable similar waste-free solutions globally. After our visit, we felt even more strongly that we had witnessed a genuinely forward-thinking initiative offering a sustainable and exciting solution to a global issue.
