West Coast Whey turns cheese’s nine-litre problem into protein
A Western Australian operation collects whey from dairies and cheesemakers, separates it into protein and other saleable outputs, and supplies manufacturers.
Field notes
The operation describes a shared collection route for smaller producers and dedicated pickups for larger ones, with loads logged against their originating dairy. Its stated process uses membrane filtration and spray drying, followed by batch testing and a certificate of analysis against an agreed specification. The page also frames whey as an industrial treatment burden: a 200-kilogram-per-week cheese operation would produce close to two tonnes of it in a week.
