Food production produces a huge quantity of waste, both before it reaches the consumer, and after. | |

| Industrial waste and co-products
Many industrial processes produce both woody and non-woody wastes. There is a vast quantity of this type of material in the UK. | |

| Agricultural residues
Many agricultural crops and livestock produce wastes and residues which can in some cases be used directly on the farm from which they derive, minimizing transport. | |
