“𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦.” Yesterday 30 food tech brains and professionals met up at cluster member Marel to dive into themes of sustainability, robotics and consumer trends in the food tech industry. In a world with climate challenges on top of a growing number of world citizens to feed, an increased focus on SUSTAINABILITY is not only inevitable – it is a license to operate and a competitive advantage as Marel’s Thomas Danmark Sørensen stated in his presentation. As a global leader in transforming the way food is processed, Marel gave us as a glimpse into their world of food tech solutions for the poultry, meat and fish processing industries – in addition to the newly acquired verticles of pet food, aqua feed and plant-based proteins. Every inch, gram and cutting angle counts, and by using robotics, data and advanced food tech solutions to improve yields, Marel is contributing to lowering food waste levels in production lines all over the world. But as Innovation Sustainability Lead Carsten Krog stated, this is only one part of sustainability: “We also need to take into consideration the use phase in terms of e.g. compressed air, water and electrical power consumption”, while presenting a case story about a filleting machine reducing consumption by 70 %. The day continued with a guided tour through Marel production facilities, facilitated 1-1 network by Helle Vedel Friis and an interesting presentation on how to effectively communicate sustainability through food packaging by Antonios Tiganis, MAPP Centre. Thanks to all participants for engaging and sharing knowledge and especially to all of Marel for having us on-site. The event was co-organized with Danish Export Association and is supported by Danmarks Erhvervsfremmebestyrelse and the European Union.
