- Panel Discussion: Resource-Efficient Processing Solutions: Sustainability Challenges - Prof.Dr. Alexander Mathys - ETH Zurich, Natasa Taseski - Wenger & Ashish Acharya, Tetra Pak
This panel discussion centers on optimizing resource consumption (including Energy) in processing: what innovative approaches and technologies can companies implement to reduce resource consumption including energy and increase efficiency in processing operations while maintaining product quality and safety standards? It also addresses the broader scope of sustainability across the value chain: how can companies extend their focus on resource efficiency beyond processing to incorporate sustainability considerations across the entire value chain, including packaging, transportation, and distribution? What strategies can be employed to minimize environmental impact and promote a more sustainable approach to production and distribution? Additionally, the discussion highlights advancements in sustainable packaging solutions and other processes: what advancements have been made in the development of sustainable packaging solutions and other processes within the value chain to reduce waste, minimize resource use, and lower carbon emissions? How can companies collaborate with suppliers and partners to integrate these innovations into their operations effectively?
