Now more than ever, people are increasingly conscious of food waste. In an era where more and more food ends up in landfills instead of hungry stomachs, one San Francisco company is trying to change all of that. The company Regrained takes waste from San Francisco breweries and turns it into granola bars.They take used grain from breweries (beermaking utilizes only the grain sugars) and turns it into granola bars. One six-pack of craft beer takes roughly a pound of grains to brew. If six billion gallons of beer are brewed in the U.S. each year, then, the beer industry wastes 36 billion pounds of grain each year. The company hopes to expand to other US cities soon.
