Focusing only on the lowest unit price might not always produce the savings you're after. It also doesn't guarantee improvements in water and sludge treatment processes. That's why interest around alternative procurement approaches grows.

The pressure to increase sustainability and move toward a circular economy is common in most sectors, but it’s felt especially keenly in the food and beverage industry. Particularly dairies are looking for ways to close the loop and be more self-sufficient in energy consumption, and biogas is a great way to do this.

The EU is currently undertaking an evaluation of Food Contact Materials (FCM). We want to support our customers and the fiber-based food packaging industry by actively following and participating in the latest regulatory developments.

In this presentation, our Research Scientist Brita Peltokoski explains how the polymer’s chemical properties change in the reservoir, and how the consequent precipitation risk can be mitigated in the polymer selection phase.

Microplastics can originate from various sources such as different plastic items, hygienic products, textiles and car tires. Recently they've been found almost everywhere in the environment and their impact on humans in terms of e.g. mortality and fertility is still unknown.

Watch our webinar to learn about the existing regulation for food contact materials, how safety and compliance of the food service board is ensured and what are the solutions to impurities like non-intentionally added substances.

Environmental buzzwords are everywhere these days, dropped in front of a whole host of words in the newspapers we read, the products we buy, and the branding we’re exposed to. Bio-based, biodegradable, recyclable, renewable – what do they really mean?

Resource efficiency and the strive for circular economy are topics every company need to take seriously. For food producers, this means using renewable and recyclable fiber-based food packaging – while ensuring it’s hygienic, robust, and – increasingly – lighter in weight.
