The sandwich process can’t use the end pieces of bread
How to reuse the end pieces of the bread in a efficient way and what could be a food product in which a significant amount of left-over bead could be used?
Leipomo Rosten Oy
Development of a new commercially interesting and sustainable salty product
A savory pastry for coffee shops and the shop’s baking point, which aims to respond to changed trends and consumer desires and needs.
“I think it is important for us to be open to new ideas. It is important for any company to step outside the normal sandbox and get ideas from people who have nothing to do with the company.”
“It was great to follow the work of a multidisciplinary student team. The collaboration gave our company new ideas for future product development.”
“We were happy to hear the student’s interesting ideas and suggestions for product development. I hope the collaboration will continue in the future and we are pleased to take into practice the ideas born so far.”
