Surplus bread is being made into beer for a new campaign aimed at reducing food wastage.

After researchers found that 24 million slices of bread are currently thrown away by UK households and 15 million tons of food is wasted across the UK, an innovative craft beer company, Toast Ale, has launched a Crowdfunder campaign to launch two new products - Toast Craft Lager and Toast Session IPA - and all the profits from the sale of the eco-friendly beer will go to the charity Feedback, who aim to halve food waste by 2030.
Toast needs to reach the target of £20,000 to start production of the bottles of beer, made from unsold, surplus fresh bread, otherwise thrown away by bakeries and sandwich makers.
Rob Wilson, Chief Toast at Toast Ale said: ''Both tackling the global issue of food waste and brewing a genuinely delicious ale are at the heart of Toast.
''Adding more brews to the range will mean that more surplus bread has a use, more money will be made for Feedback, and there will be two more great drinks for people to enjoy. We hope to put ourselves out of business - the day there's no waste bread is the day Toast Ale can no longer exist.''
