What if the leftovers from your favourite beer could end up in a face cream, food package or electronic device?That’s the question behind a Christchurch-led pr…

Great, now my beer will cost even more cos some uni tossers want to put it in face cream.
facts. it's always about finding a new revenue stream instead of reducing consumption
Another 'sustainable' project that'll probably cost millions and end up on a shelf at Countdown for $40 a jar. Sounds like a great use of taxpayer money.
but if it actually works and replaces some plastic, that's a win isn't it?
if this helps reduce waste and keeps the breweries afloat in Chch, I'm all for it. Could be a good alternative to all that plastic packaging.
Can't wait to smear my face with something that smells like Speight's. 😂

lol you joke but I'd definitely try it if it smells like fresh hops
yeah nah, this is just spin from breweries trying to greenwash their waste problem. just recycle the glass and move on
As someone who works in food manufacturing, this is actually pretty clever. The waste streams are a nightmare to deal with, so turning it into something useful beats dumping it.
nah mate, have you seen the sheer volume of waste? reusing is better than just burning it
sounds good but hope they don't put preservatives in it. my skin is sensitive enough without beer leftovers
If it keeps the breweries running and creates jobs in Chch, I'm all for it. Just don't expect me to pay extra for face cream made from your hangover.
This headline reads like an Onion article. Beer today, face cream tomorrow – what's next, wine in my tyres?
get stuffed, you just want cheap beer. this stuff actually has potential
Can't believe we're paying researchers to figure out how to turn beer waste into moisturiser when we could just... not make so much waste?
yeah fair point, but at least they're trying to do something with it
watch it'll be $90 a tub at farmers markets with 'artisanal brewery waste' on the label
