The company said it will use cocoa shells from its confectionary site in York, United Kingdom, and recycle them for use as valuable nutrients in farming. The fertilizer would offer a viable alternative to conventional fertilizers, which account for about 5% of global emissions. In the U.K., over half of the carbon footprint of wheat grown in the region is attributed to fertilizer use.<\/p>\n<p>The trial will continue for two years, and if successful, up to 7,000 tons of low-carbon fertilizer may be produced and offered to farmers involved in Nestl\u00e9\u2019s U.K. wheat supply chain. This would amount to about 25% of the company\u2019s overall fertilizer use for wheat. The company has already hit several considerable milestones in its sustainability efforts, including achieving a deforestation-free supply chain, planting 20 million trees a year, and using all sustainable palm oil, among others. Further, Nestl\u00e9 has created a pilot program in Australia for using compostable and recyclable paper packaging for its chocolate bars, and Nestl\u00e9 France is the first company in Europe to implement hydrogen-powered rail freight.<\/p>\n<p>This latest project reflects an increasing number of food and drink companies looking to support regenerative agricultural practices. As soil depletion and fertilizer-related pollution harm the climate, they also threaten food companies\u2019 ability to function. Regenerative agriculture marks an investment in the future of farming, and it should include support for farmers hoping to switch to regenerative practices.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentalleader.com\/2023\/09\/nestle-pilot-creates-low-carbon-fertilizer-from-cocoa-husks\/\">Environmental Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-401\/\">Nestl\u00e9 Pilot Creates Low-Carbon Fertilizer from Cocoa Husks<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11529,575,3594],"class_list":["post-116925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cocoa-husk","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-nestle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116925\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
