We’re happy to announce and welcome our new partner MBP Solutions. MBP Solutions is a global expert in by-products and their applications; it helps other companies use products that they would normally throw away, and to reuse them for useful purposes like animal feed, renewable energy (biofuels) or fertilizers. In other words: turning one industry’s by-product into another industry’s raw material after thorough processing, without putting them into landfill.
Every year, MBP Solutions handles more than 200,000 tons of biological by-products that are processed and sold for new applications. Together, they make a significant and positive impact on the environment, reduce waste quantities, and create sustainable raw materials for energy production. That makes MBP a waste reduction and upcycling champion. You can imagine that we’re proud to have them on board as a new partner!
Challenging the status quo of the use of by-products
What makes MBP Solutions different than the rest, you ask? Catherine Dawson, Business Development Manager explains: “The status quo in the industry is often focused on simply disposing waste or using it for energy generation, which is a less efficient and less sustainable approach. We aim to change this by finding more advanced and higher forms of upcycling that create value from waste and by-products.” MBP Solutions also has a strong focus on sustainability and corporate responsibility and is committed to the UN Global Compact initiative – something which is (unfortunately) also not the norm yet within the industry.
Sustainability in our DNA
Sustainability has been part of their ideological backbone since the beginning, as the organization captures and delivers value in economic, environmental, and social terms. “One of the main motives for becoming a partner of Brave New Food is to help promote sustainable and innovative solutions for the food industry. Brave New Food is a community of businesses who are working towards creating a more sustainable food system, and by partnering with BNF, we can reach a wider audience and collaborate with likeminded organizations,” says Georgia Ionascu, Marketing Manager at MBP Solutions. MBP Solutions is always looking for new opportunities, and the ambitions are high: “We have a strong ambition to continue innovating in circular economy and industrial ecology. We aim to find new and more efficient ways to use waste and by-products to create value, while also reducing waste and environmental impact.”
When transparency & corporate responsibility is key
MBP doesn’t back down when it comes to sharing information with their audience that might be a little uncomfortable. Georgia: “We are committed to transparency and corporate responsibility and willing to share information about our operations and impact, even if it may be uncomfortable or difficult to do so. We are also open to feedback and collaboration to continue improving our sustainability and environmental impact.”
Purpose-driven
MBP believes in the importance and benefit of being a ‘purpose-driven enterprise’ and is a global expert in by-products and their application, including supply chain management, international sales and marketing, legal compliance, and sustainability. Catherine adds: “Ideal customers of MBP Solutions might be surprised to learn about the wide and innovative range of sales applications and uses, including animal food, or technical products such as asphalt or ink made from by-products, as well as the diverse markets and global network of customers. A common myth that customers might believe is that waste and by-products application is limited and has low value. MBP Solutions is working to change this perception by showing how waste can be used to create valuable products and reduce environmental impact.”
