A supermarket in the Netherlands has begun selling a line of products made from food waste, reports Reuters. The Jumbo store in Wageningen is seeing high sales of its soups and chutneys made from misshapen vegetables, beer from stale bread, cider from blemished apples, and soaps from discarded orange peels. The manager of the branch says first-week sales have surpassed expectations, doubling its current organic product sales.
The initiative is supported by a local university as part of a new national program, United Against Food Waste.
