The European Former Foodstuff Processors Association (EFFPA) has appointed Richard Lee as its new Vice-President during the General Assembly on 22 October 2024. Lee, who also serves as Chair of the UK Former Foodstuff Processors Association (UKFFPA) and Technical Manager at SugaRich, takes on this leadership role amid ongoing efforts to strengthen the sector’s sustainability and efficiency.

“I am honored by the trust and appreciation from the EFFPA members to support the association in the promotion of the interests of the European former foodstuff processing sector,” Lee stated. “Though we represent a well-established sector in numerous countries, there is still work to do to optimize production conditions and further explore the opportunities for increased sustainable production of food and feed production.”

EFFPA represents companies that transform former foodstuffs into sustainable feed ingredients, playing a vital role in reducing food waste and advancing the circular economy. By bridging the food and feed sectors, the association advocates for a robust regulatory framework that recognizes former foodstuff processing as a key component of sustainability, ensuring feed safety and resource efficiency across Europe.
