Waste : Making crisps

What happens to all that water, soil, peelings, starch, effluent?

Making crisps in factory tiktok

  • Washing soil off
  • Peeling in water
  • Rinsing
  • Slicing in water
  • Rinsing again
  • the rejected slices and potatoes (3.5kg potatoes creates 1 kg of crisps)

Not mentioning all the additives

36 slices per potato, so less than 2 potatoes per bag

Or the massive waste of the plastic bags : 10 BILLION SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAGS PER YEAR IN THE UK alone
