With a family farming partnership of twenty years, the Aura Innovation Centre were approached by a fifth-generation grower to provide a sustainable solution to reduce waste whilst enhancing their business returns. The horticultural company specialised in arable farming, particularly winter wheat, oilseed rape, spring barley, winter and vining peas.

With a family farming partnership of twenty years, the Aura Innovation Centre were approached by a fifth-generation grower to provide a sustainable solution to reduce waste whilst enhancing their business returns. The horticultural company specialised in arable farming, particularly winter wheat, oilseed rape, spring barley, winter and vining peas.
The challenge
Transform horticultural bi-products into a commercialisation opportunity, reduce waste and provide a sustainable solution.
Project Partners
With 13-14,000 tonnes of peas grown annually across 8,000 acres of Yorkshire fields, M.Meadley & Sons saw a low carbon opportunity to enhance their business returns and provide sustainable solutions for the region.
As peas are picked fresh in the fields, they’re transported to the factory to be processed along with the pea pods, stems and leaves.
As part of the process the peas are extracted from their pods, washed, blanched and checked – leaving the consumer with peas that are ready to eat.
However, there was no use for the leftover pea pods, leaves or stems, leaving a substantial amount of waste from the plant, not to mention the carbon used to transport the waste from the field to the processing factory.
Our challenge was to explore high value uses for the pea waste, finding viable commercialisation opportunities and reducing waste entering local landfill.

PROJECT FUNDER
Driving green innovation through collaboration
By working together with M. Meadley & Sons, our Innovation Managers secured funded support to explore the chemical composition of vine garden pea waste and its suitability to produce bioethanol and carbonaceous materials
Through our links with the University of Hull, we teamed up with Hull’s Chemical Engineering Expert, Sharif Zein to deliver and test the innovative idea.
Sharif firstly extracted the compounds found in the raw waste and analysed the chemical structures to understand the breakdown of ingredients and the percentage values. Additional testing and experiments were undertaken to further explore how these ingredients would be suited to a range of uses, giving what would be a waste product a new purpose.
The results

By working collaboratively, we transformed an innovative idea into a fully functioning business solution
Our work has been a vital step in providing M.Meadley & Sons with specialist knowledge to contribute towards their ambition of exploring suitable bi-products and commercial opportunities for pea waste.
Scientific research provided evidence that pea waste could be suitable for a variety of uses, it could even be used as a renewable energy source which could play a valuable role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Whichever option M.Meadley & Sons choose to pursue, the AIC and the University of Hull’s expertise will help them to enhance business returns, reduce landfill and provide sustainable, organic ingredients to be used in a range of products.
