- Palm oil can be found in countless products in supermarkets around the world. Producing it involves clearing huge areas of rainforest. But there are more sustainable methods and alternatives.
The unchecked expansion of oil palm plantations poses a threat to the climate, biodiversity, and the habitats of many animal species. Among the alternative options to palm oil is an innovative idea from Germany. Ludovic Gerboin was frustrated by a problem that plagues him and many bakers: the amount of unsold, leftover bread at the end of every day. By chance, he met Thomas Brück, a professor of synthetic biotechnology at the Technical University of Munich who was working on creating a palm oil substitute. Out of their partnership came a new alternative: yeast oil, produced from roasting, shredding, and fermenting stale bread. Thomas Brück says his yeast oil has a longer life than palm oil and can be reused up to 60 times.
Sulastri Rahmawati's oil palm plantation on the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo enables her to feed her family of six. She's one of millions of people around the world who are dependent on the plant. Oil palm trees boast an enormous yield that meets the growing demand for vegetable fats. Rahmawati and her cooperative started growing oil palms 20 years ago. This used to mean deforestation, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers. Now, however, they're committed to sustainable production and taking social responsibility.
But even sustainable oil palm production leads to huge amounts of harvest waste. Together with partners in Thailand, German entrepreneur Markus Matuschka has devised a way of making a new raw material from oil palm fruit that can provide a substitute for timber and paper.

Is there any documentary on how corn and soh is depleting the underground water faster than we thought?
Maybe I dont understand everything here??? ..but....If the bakery has so much left over...wouldn't the first option be to reduce the amount you produce? If it means you run out by a fraction, so be it. Or if there is STILL left overs then do what they do ..at least its less waste and energy used. Plus they would save money by using less ingredients.
Consumers are spoilt with more rather than settling for occasional shortage.
If you don't have what they want, they will go to your competitor.
And if you are a wholesale baker, you are at the mercy of your distribution retailers, ie the supermarkets etc. You have to keep the shelves stocked or risk losing shelf space to sell your bread.
@@tslee8236 I see your point but surely they can average out how much they sell each day and at least reduce the amount left over? Seems like such a waste.
My first thought was ..feed the leftovers to the homeless or local food pantry ... I support what the scientist do, I still think they could produce based on sales history
Most bakeries around here sell out of certain things but not everything and it's always something different. So you can't really properly balance, supply and demand and there's also a certain desire to not want the last of something.
Although I agree with reduce before reuse, I think what they want to do is make all of their production process sustainable. Palm oil is the weak link so they try to find a better alternative for that. Maybe not just focus on reusing bread. Maybe food waste in general. I am doing bokashi, a type of fermentation process, at home. I noticed that there is a kind of oily substance on top of the liquid that I "harvest" every few days even though I did not put any oil or oily products in there.🤷
The main driver of Palm Oil deforestation in Borneo/ Kalimantan in the last 20 years , has been the Bio-fuel industry. This in turn is driven by government mandate e.g. The European Unions Renewable Energy Directives. When you fill up your car look at the details on the pump. If you are filling with gasoline it will state the amount of ethanol (E). If you are filling with diesel it will state the amount of bio-diesel (B). Bio diesel (methyl ester) is mostly made from vegetable oil; in the EU that is primarily palm oil.
Now the EU is penalising oil palm for deforestation, when it was the EU's own directives that widely drove the same process, No wonder many people in these countries are angered by what they see as western/ EU hypocrisy. Indonesia has B30 diesel at the moment and plans to transition to B50 in the foreseeable future.
Indonesia must pivot for other sources of biofuel. Indonesia are bestowed with the abundance of feedstocks of the 2Gen renewal.
We also have the local technology but lack the political will to change.
The devastation of our forest by the Big Palm oil mafia cannot continue.
Palm oil has benefited the Indonesia and we must now pivot to 2 generations of renewal.

It's great to see there are sustainable alternatives, I hope these processes spread fast so the damage to animals and their habitats will minimize exponentially.
Yeast oil is never going to be a sustainable alternative cooking oil to palm oil. As is Palm Oil is the most sustainable oil ever. It uses less land than all other oils, it needs no chemical fertilizers, it needs no insectcides compared to other oil plants, it uses less water than other oils, the plant itself is a tree that grows big forming a canopy that protect the ground underneath from soil erosion and drying, birds, insects, and animals can all live in harmony with oil palm plantations than on any other oil plant plantation. If you want to meet the global demand for cooking oil Palm Oil is the only way otherwise you might need to farm 10 times more land to produce the output needed - where will the world get that extra land? This European propaganda about Oil Palm being bad are just a political ploy to stop a crop that is challenging European cooking oils in the world market. Nothing else.
Talking about deforestation, just look how European lost their forests long time ago and as I know there's no effort to rebuild. They like to criticize others countries but never point their fingers to themselves.
Palm oils is actually victim of black campaign from their competitors which is westerners because they can't grow palm oil in European.
It's clearly palm oil produce more yield compared to their competitors (soybean, repressed, sun flowers etc) so we will use less land to grow the plants. And inside the palm oil plantations we can breed cows too. It's save land.
Yeah. I love the forests and wildlife. But exactly how is corn oil produced in the west? Osmosis? Why no mention of the environmental damage that has done and is still causing.

At the end, the guy mentioned that he can produce the lab oil for around ⅔ the cost of palm oil.. however, its not clear on if he depends on all that left over bakery waste being freely donated to him? My thoughts are that those bakeries could save much more money if they planned their stock flow more effieciently to reduce or eliminate their left over waste. Why do they have to over produce? Why not under produce, so they can sell out and have zero waste?
Make sense
Those experiental destine to fail
Funny they blame every part of Indonesian palm plantation w/o showing the efforts made to make the plantation more sustainable. It's in progress to renew our unproductive plantation so the land use will not change. We also give the farmer weed cutter machine to reduce the use of herbicide. We also use the outer hard shell of the palm fruit to produce fuel..
🤔🤔🤔... What happened to all the natural forrest in Europe and US...???
I am very grateful to be able to work in palm oil ...there is no pressure to work in palm oil except sometimes the salary is not satisfactory...the important thing is hard work..There are positives and negatives in every job..
Awesome of course, but if the bakery has so much left each day, maybe he is making too much. Part of the job, I think, is to calculate such things. Part of the logistics. Here in Indonesia nothing is left. Often people even get told "already finished" at the later parts of the day. And while coming to an empty store with only one or two buns left that are not the ones you actually wanted, nothing gets wasted, and in a more easy way. Come earlier tomorrow if you really want it. Just like other people do/did before you.
With 27,000 bakeries that would mean about 60 kilos of waste per day, per bakery. My bakery might have a few loaves but nothing like 60 or more per day left over.
Same in Malaysia. For the big bread companies anyway. Not sure about the small bakeries.
If palm oil was a western product, it will have been marketed as the worlds best edible oil. But it is an Asian oil that is needed by the world for sustenance. Research has shown that palm oil is one of the best oils for consumption, with only olive oil and coconut oil coming before. Per sq kilometer, palm oil produces more oil than any other known to man. Replacing forest for palm trees is just replacing one green for another.
They always have double standard as usual
Actually, palm oil comes from Africa, but it thrives in Indonesia because the soil is fertile and the climate is good, suitable for growing oil palm trees
@@auron7361 yes it true.
Spot on
Completely false....
Palm oil contains a lot of saturated fat and has also a lot of cholesterol.
No a palmoil plantation is as far as you could get from the rainforest
(that is millions of years old)
And the plantation causes changes of the climate, globally as well as locally causing floods and landslides.
wow I appreciate to your this documentary.
We used to give our left over bread to church/charity organisations. There's plenty of people with nothing to eat..
True
Palm oil is more practical than other oil crops, finding additional uses for it's byproducts is essential. Palm oil requires less fertiliser, less water, less pesticide and because the land isn't tilled between crops less fossil fuel to produce than annual oil crops like soy, canola or rice bran. Like an olive tree it can grow in places where conventional crops can not, which makes it essential for sustainability. We just need to stop cutting down forests to grow it.
@vyhozshuWell palm oil is no problem afterall fashion recquires more resources
but they tore down anchient rainforest and killed every thing in their paths to do it go have a look for your self i did its life changing
A good try, this film, but has sooooooo many mistakes and misconceptions! 1. First of all, you cannot compare Palm Oil production in Indonesia/Malaysia with Thailand at all. In Indonesia/Malaysia, approx 80% of Palm Oil is produced by large holdings. In Thailand, it's just the opposite and approx. 80% is being produced by smallholders. 2. Secondly, where did that german guy and his partner in Chonburi get the idea that smallholders in Thailand get money for the empty fruit bunches? This is simply a lie!! Smallholders sell the fruit bunches by weight and don't get the empty bunches back. So, there's no extra money in it for them. 3. On the contrary: Smallholders normally use the empty fruit bunches as an additional fertilizer when they buy them back from the mills. When TEPP takes this away from them by using it all for their obsolete packaging company, they'll even earn less! 4. There are no Orang Utans in Thailand and there is no destruction of rainforest worth mentioning for Palm Oil plantations. 5. The production of that oil from bread leftovers is meaningless in the production chain and probably costs more to produce than Palm Oil, taking into account all costs. 6. The best way to deal with leftovers is to produce less. But the bakery keeps overproducing on a daily basis to avoid a possible small loss by being sold out. 6. RSPO certification is a near impossible goal for a smallholder and too costly as well. It's a good start, but too difficult. Only cooperatives can achieve that certification. 7. Palm Oil is irreplacable. No matter what European Eco-Colonialists say. Biodiversity is greater in those plantations than on the empty fields of Europe. I'd recommend them to start there instead of keeping telling people in Asia what to do.
True. You can give it to homeless or turn it into breadcrumbs and sell it later.
its a good idea converting bread to palm oil but i think they can also focus on to reduce wastage of bread with may not be needed to process
Vegetable oil is not only used for cooking. It's also used for animal-free detergents, cosmetics, and candles. Therefore, it's more sustainable to use palm oil for these industries due to its lower required footprint. Not to forget, palm oil is a healthier choice for high-heat cooking, baking etc due to its stability.
sorry mate go look for your self at the amount of forest they killed i drove for six hours from west to east its destruction on a massive scale it made me and my wife cry it broke our hearts to see orphen orangotans whos mothers were murdered its horrible what these palm oil king pins do . its also a high murder rate over people trying to save the land sumatra is even worse there is nothing left there but misery
In my Island we have coconuts. Also most cosmetic products if not all are irrelevant or useless.
@@petermiller4434 At least palm oil feeds the world. Denying it = denying affordable vegetable oils to those in need. Not everyone is rich
yes i agree we have to make some sacrafices borneo was a huge one heatbreaking to see it with your own eyes i did see a lot of poverty huge investors own most of the massive plantations as far as the eye can see there but the strong eat the weak regards pete@@Udean1901

Nice review
If you keep having so much left over, why continue to bake that much in the first place? Bake less, and give people the option to pre-order bread if they really want so and so. I see for instance lidl stops baking 2 hours before closing.
Wow that's amazing ❤👏
Great & informative documentary 👍.
Western hypocrisy
Bread recycled into oil at 2/3 cost of palm oil. It is like capturing the heat produced by air cond and turn into energy instead of reducing the usage of air cond to save energy
I'm from Malaysia and im happy of our land
Where is the plantation?
The problem is how to fulfil market demand without cutting down more trees.
Palm Oil is essential to cooking delicious dishes in a lot of cultures. Unequivocally, I can say from observation that Malaysia has the best Palm Oil.

I have coconuts in my yard.
You should do your research and due diligence. Palm oil is native to West Africa, especially to the country Nigeria, and guess what? It is eco-friendly, unlike in these South Asian countries that are having issues with deforestation.
There is a glimpse of hope heaves in the sight to have something make our world more better.

Europe and US produced oil can't compete with cheaper palm oil. Hence the propaganda against palm oil using environment preservation. Those corn field and wheat fields are much larger but nobody complaint the environment damage done to local habitat. What about cattle farm in US and Europe? Cattle is the no 1 agriculture source of greenhouse gases worldwide.
@vyhozshuRainforests have more biodiversity. But I think it is better if we started caring more about our nature first. For instance Poland does regenerative farming with sheep while Western Europe uses mowers

Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts:)
Eu is has the biggest impact by doing this using all the palm oil to mix it with diesel for cars
@@DWDocumentary While this is a new product and new suffering that comes with it, Palm Oil if we had our time again, would be the go to oil. It uses the least land for the greater return. Sunflower for example uses the same amount of land but gives 1/4 of the tonnage of oil.What was the point of this video as it left so much out? The energy needed to reclaim the palm oil from the old bread, the cost to get old bread to the factory etc etc
another hypocrisy, palm oil just a huge threat to legumes oil market which is produced by European countries, they're bringing negative issues to tackle palm oil because it's way cheaper
Greed, greed, greed. profit, profit ,profit at the expense of the natural environment. It is a very short sighted and damaging practice to take the palm fruit residue and make it into cardboard. This is only done to increase profits yet it adds to the depletion of the soil and over time a decrease in yield.
This valuable natural material should be composted or used as a mulch to improve the soil and the sustainability on the palm growing industry.
Corn, olive, sunflower eventually processed as cooking oil are planted in the air. Not on the soil. Opssss 😂
Corn agriculture is as big a problem as palm oil. We need real solutions and people willing to change
And use huge machinery that use diesel in every step from begining until it harvested.
Then try subtitute palm oil with sunflower, and see how much land you need to match it.
Why they look to the other side of world about environment problem, they have it in front of their nose at europe
Yup. This stance on palm oil really comes down to a trade war, not genuinely an ecological issue. Boring, actually.
So true. Why do they think palm oil can be the cheapest oil? Because it's productivity per square meter is the highest..true that deforestation is a problem but banning it is not the answer. From soap, biodiesel, and many other industry use palm oil. Only small part of palm oil is used for consumption. I think we should think about how to produce palm oil intensively to reduce plantation expansion but increase the harvest
😂🤛
Meanwhile, many european country no forest
As palm oil is a cheaper alternative to soya oil, sun flower oil, olive oil etc. Since palm oil which produces by 3rd world country and is a competitors to West, it will continue to attack palm oil. If palm oil is not oroduce in Asian or 3rd world, it will be a different story.
I agree. Did you know about the pilgrims first interchanges with the indigenous people? They were buying nature for penies.
Yeast oil, blabla oil will never ever be better or a suitable alternative to palm oil in any way for the long-term good of the planet. Oil Palm is a God-given special gift to the planet.
this was utterly captivating, well done!
It's amazing what about wheat which also produces deforestation that is as crazy as palm oil, why don't Europeans replace it with sugar , it is clear that this video was made because Europe was unable to compete and used a dark campaign to discriminate against palm oil
I loved the story of saving the planet at the beginning but the commercial part is biased, biofuels are a great industry and the amounts of water they consume are alarming in the process apart from deforestation.
Excess of bread can be used to feed homeless people. But that material that can replace plastic is curious. Coconut hairs were used to make strongest ropes for ships. Why we use plastic so much I don't know
How about also include grain farm also deforestation
I wonder what they could all make of an intact forrest...
The waste material that being use to make paper product should only be distributed/sell locally atmost regionally and not for long distance export like to europe or us from SEA. That way the carbonfootprint is low an can create closer loop of nutrients/material (like composted them paper products post-consumer use locally)
Does those olive , corn , soybean , sunflower oil provide sufficient carbon net compare to palm tree... palm tree is more sustainable edible oil then western oil
High productivity=sustainable
High productivity = extinction of many species.
Sun flower needs planty of trees and more land to produce the oil while 1 palm tree produce a lot of oil in one tree. The word needs palm oil to sustainable the industries and food.
British colonial destroyed the forest first, by turning the tropical jungle into rubber plantations. Then palm oil replaced the rubber trees. Why the campaign against palm oil?
Because they are not at the forefront. They destroy more forest with cattle farming but you won't hear about it.
Why not stop the continuation of these problem instead of blaming some past thing?
Europe just have expensive oil from sunflower, canola, etc not competitve compare to palm oil
When u can't steal, let's play cop.
Sebab dah perangai orang sana dari dulu lagi tak boleh lihat ada negara lain mendahului saingan dari negara mereka.. Sentiasa cari jalan burukkan negara orang.. Orang Asia boleh hidup tanpa minyak masak dari negara mereka.. Berpuluh tahun kita guna minyak kelapa sawit.. Tidak ada masaalah apa pun
The blueberry and avocado monoculture in Chile and Latin America is just as worse as palm oil monoculture.
Deforestation? I did not see anything of this in the film production. Your on site visit was to small holding farmers who had converted from one type of farming to another, to make a few extra bucks for their families, so no forests were being hacked down, no wild life was driven out. Such a shame that you didn´t show and expose these organizations that deforest for profit. These are the ones that need to be stopped!
Thats fantastic, hope to see this spread quickly. Only downside i can see is transporting the stale bread or its ground powder. But with electrification of transport, cost will only come down too making it more practical. This is good news, another action towards a sustainable world. Great Documentary as always DW.

@Cyfriniol Exactly.
Thanks DW for sharing such an inspiring success story in sustainability !
Why don't you turn your wheat fields into forests, grain fields take up too much land
Thinking about this circular mechanism of recycling oil from old breads I would like to see comparison between bread made in ‘a proper way’ and bread that is heated from frozen semi-product (higher volumes proposal by supermarkets mentioned in video). Also how this whole process/quality downgrades with increasing operations - in other words long-term efficiency.
I can not agree more with use less & plan accordingly (logistics) & make throwing away history for once and for all.
wonderful exposition!..interesting to see that someone is working with waste palm fibre to produce recyclable paper!..hope TEPP can consider Nigeria, where we waste millions of tons of waste palm fibre...I would be glad to contribute in such environment-saving venture.
How can i contact TEPP?
The fear of Caucasian countries is to see other countries use palm oil cultivation to catch up with them economically. Malaysia earn 50 billion dollars a year from palm oil.
@vyhozshu,,,,, why not break down cities like Berlin, Paris, London, new York and plant forest?
Development is awesome but deforestation for it is bad...
The African Red Palm Oil is the richest source of the best antioxidant Vitamin E type Tocotrienols !
Sadly, it comes to my table 100 times from what a farmer gets paid for !
Palm oil is much better in any way compare to corn oil, soybean oil, sun flower oil, :
- palm oil require less water
- palm oil produce more oil per sqm
- palm oil keep the tree in place
- palm farming is done manually that why require more man resources
look at the ground where you stepped on there is a forest you have removed the forest and the animals that live there 😂,humans are actually colonizers for other species

It would be more realistic if the oil from old bread would have been introduced as a means to reduce the dependency on other oils, including palmoil. It will never be possible to replace all oil needs of bakeries.
Lucu ya, orang barat sok2an bicara deforestasi. Di saat yang sama, mereka harus nebang pohon cuma sekedar buat boker. wkwk
Lol bener
Looks like the sugar-to-oil fermentation technology is getting traction. I wonder how planting sugarcane and feeding said sugar to those microbes compares to regular oil palm plantations in terms of oil yielded per hectare.
Sugar vs palm oli. Sugar cane plantation need more land. And sugar cane more damaging soil
Why not give away the excess bread to the homeless..😅 no more reprocessing needed
Still coconut palm production is more sustainable that palm oil production. Every part of the coconut tree is usable, that is why it is called "the tree of life"
Nah, oil product from coconut is less compare to palm oil trees, you just need more coconut trees than palm oil trees if you want to produce same amount of oils and that mean more enviromental damage than palm oil.
We need modified yeast to synthesize the oil. If we can make insulin why not palm oil. That guy's factory looks cut. Where's the forest on the roof?

HOW DID WE COOK IN 1800 WHEN WE DID NOT HAVE PALM OIL? APPARENTLY WE DIDN'T!
What about massive maize producing in European countries l, does the not affect the environment
While Palm oil accounting for 37 percent of global vegetable oil consumption, palm oil is produced from just 10 percent of all farmland dedicated to growing vegetable oil crops. Knowing its outstanding efficiency and versatility, we need to be aware that moving away from palm oil and replacing it by other vegetable oils will lead to the need for more agricultural land, shifting deforestation and potentially inferior products.
You sent
We have almost 7 billion people on this earth, apparently, they must eat, the efficiency of palm oil should be lauded not condemned. Boycotting Palm oil will definitely gives you the opposite results., if your are actually honest about your campaign, palm oil will be the least to fight against.
8 billion already haha
Exactly what palm industry said to greenwash.
If you watch the video, there is no campaign to boycott or reduce use of palm oil. Its about improving how palm oil is grown and optimising palm tree.
The foods made with palm oil and cooked using palm oil are the biggest causes of insulin resistance which leads to NAFLD, diabetes, kidney failure, heart failure. Animal fats are a much healthier alternative.
@@pigstain7531 it is reality. The biggest contributor to Climate Change are China, The EU, US
I would like to know, how bread was made 100 years ago, when palm oil was not common in Europe. We try to achieve higher standard, but for expansive price.
Sounds like they just use in in the frosting, not the bread. It would probably be a sin to include it IN the bread in Germany.
if you believe palm oil causing forest destruction, then you should stop using rubber on your car, bike or even aeroplane. both commodities are not environment friendly. for decades EU discriminate palm oil to protect their own vegetable oil (and didn't work so far) but not for rubber, why ? it is just politics matters.
Hemp oil. QED.
That's why I stop using palm oil, and use rubber oil instead.
Why the drum keep playing ting ting tang tang at the background, so distracting....???
Naa..they just jelouse of palm oil productivity..
Lusi Myer is correct, having.planted wheat, milled it and baked the bread, it would be better to donate the leftover to charities. The lab oil is cheaper only because the cost of aggregating the left over bread, scaling up the process which entails inefficiencies and to compete against palm oil which is heavily taxed does not make sense
Sure buddy, monoculture orchards are bad.
Strip farming soy is GOOD.
Sure, sure !
palm orchards , don't use as much water as soy farming. You don't have to plough. It's great for the moles, and insects and birds. You can graze sheep and cows on the land and get meat and milk and free fertilizer. You can keep bees on the orchards.
Palm monoculture is probably the most sustainable mega crop, outside of coconuts.
