Waste and Sustainability advice for the food industry....
The food industry is embracing "the war on waste" and the move to more sustainable food options.
Sustainability and environmental management is becoming increasingly important for all food business.
Correct Food Systems is well placed to assist you to ride the tide on new developments, initiatives and environmentally friendly food processing and manufacturing.
We are knowledgeable in the international standard for Environmental ISO certification such as ISO 14000 and can assist you to achieve certification to this standard.
We are knowledgeable on the target to reduce packaging waste and move to new environmentally friendly forms of packaging. See our webpage on packaging targets and reduction of PFA's in food contact packaging materials.
The issues with some plastics and plastic lined packaging is
1.Currently non-biodegradable (breaks down to microplastics) – APCO will sort out a lot of this.
2.Presence of PFAS (Per & Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)
We are aware and supportive of moving towards a circular economy. A circular food economy is the concept that both food and packaging are not wasted by dumping it in landfill or in some cases, incineration. While the APCO requirements are dealing with packaging recycling, systems are being introduced for food recycling, an extension of the yellow bin / green bin system for residential waste.
We have assisted several clients to reduce and manage waste and we are Corporate business supporters of FoodBank NSW ACT, assisting them and our clients to maximise the use of food products in a safe manner.
We have an interest in working with clients to develop alternative food sources such as Insects as Food and Cell based cultured meat.
