About the event
Across Tasmania’s horticultural sector, valuable fruit is slipping through the cracks. Out-of-spec, unpicked and nutrient-rich waste streams remain largely untapped, yet they hold enormous potential for creating new, high-value products. By rethinking waste, growers can reduce disposal costs while opening the door to diversification, innovation and new revenue streams. A genuine win–win for a long-standing challenge.
Join us to discover what the Fruit Waste Report has uncovered, from fruits rich in polyphenols and bioactive compounds to the opportunities they present for beverages, nutraceuticals, ingredients and beyond. See what’s possible, then let your imagination take over.
You’ll also hear directly from growers about the scale of the issue, how shifting consumer preferences are shaping waste streams, and the real-world innovations they’ve tested along the way. Expect honest insights, lessons learned, and a few warts-and-all stories from the frontline.
