bioeconomy. In this session, scientists at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison will help you discover new
perspectives on the use of dairy coproducts like permeate
or acid whey that are of low-value and often considered
a waste product or used for animal feed or land-applied.
Learn about transferring whey into value added materials
and the potential for production of products like
bioplastics and fermentation derived chemicals.
