Food and Beverage

Understanding the Imperatives 

Food and Beverage processing faces particular environmental challenges: 

1. High energy consumption due to the production and processing contributing to greenhouse gas emissions; 
2. High water consumption with water being used for processing, cleaning and other operations, on a continent facing water scarcity; 
3. Generation of significant amounts of waste, including packaging materials, organic waste and byproducts. Proper waste management is crucial to minimize environmental impact.

This is combined with strict hygiene and food security requirements are usually based on strict regulations.
