AB Agri takes pride in its heritage and track record of sourcing ingredients for animal feed that would otherwise go to waste, reducing the use of primary products.
Testing the gas-yield potential of waste for use as anaerobic digestion feedstock at Amur Energy’s lab in York, UK
AB Agri applies its nutritional expertise to make use of food industry co-products that might otherwise have limited value. Examples include fibre-rich sugar beet pulp and grains remaining from the brewing and distilling of beer and whisky, which are incorporated into animal feed. Any co-products and food waste not suitable for animal feed are used to generate bio-energy through its specialist anaerobic digestion business, Amur.
In 2026, AB Agri’s total waste decreased by 1% from 7.8kt in 2025 to 7.7kt. Of this waste, 91% was recycled or sent for reuse, with less than 0.7kt being sent to landfill. The reduction was driven by operational improvements that reduced process-related material losses.
At AB Agri, the use of plastic packaging for finished goods is low with most of its products being delivered as bulk. There are some businesses where it is more significant, due to the nature of the products and services being offered, in particular at Global Supplements and National Milk Records (NMR).
In 2026, AB Agri used 4.8kt of packaging, a 28% decrease compared to 2025, reflecting lower production volumes in the UK and a shift towards a higher proportion of production supplied in bulk.
