30 Apr Processes optimization = Resource saving
The efficient use of resources is an ecological and economic necessity and an important success factor for company and climate policy.
The food industry offers particularly large savings potentials. More efficient production processes, the closing of material cycles or innovative technologies – approaches that help companies to sustainably reduce the use of resources.
Since its foundation, the FPI association has supported companies in reducing losses and consumption. They use national and international funding programs to support companies in optimizing their processes towards sustainable production.
“The advantages of increasing resource and energy efficiency are obvious. It contributes to strengthening competitiveness and to maintaining and even creating new jobs. Furthermore, it counteracts the problem of future resource shortages”. Sabine Höfel, Food-Processing Initiative e.V.
