Details
There are strong incentives globally that drive a range of sustainability initiatives in dairy processing. This session will cover case studies around milk processing and packaging.
- Energy and heat decarbonisation in dairy plants, what is actually working beyond efficiency gains?
- Water stewardship beyond “use less water”
- Packaging choices and food waste - the dairy shelf-life equation. How packaging design influences shelf-life, distribution reach and waste. Trade-offs between recyclable packaging and product loss.
- Dairy packaging in a low-carbon world - what's actually moving the needle? Where does packaging materially contribute to dairy footprint reduction, and where it doesn't. Trade-offs between lightweighting, recyclability, shelf-life and food waste. How global brands are prioritising actions.
