In fact, companies such as alternative protein companies have a similar goal
in mind – to promote sustainability and to inspire the next generation of
consumers to adopt cleaner eating habits, and reduce their carbon habits on the
environment. YouKuai, and its Zrou plant-based protein, has been making waves
amongst consumers, proving themselves to be a strong player in the market in
getting consumers to make the switch.
Then there’s Serac’s ESL Combox, where manufacturers can look forward to a
cutting-edge decontamination process that requires neither water nor chemicals,
satisfying hygiene and sustainability commitments. The ESL Combox is a singleblock
packaging unit with three combined functions: high-precision stretch blow
moulding of PET and RPET bottles; net weight filling; and capping. This is topped
off with the pulsed light technology that enables a chemical and water-free
decontamination process.

In addition, with the aid of software development and machine-learning,
manufacturers can now ensure higher quality and safety, whilst using data
collection as a means for greater transparency and efficiency. We spoke with Sean
Slevin, regional sales director Asia-Pacific for TOMRA Food, on TOMRA’s sorting
technologies, and how it can facilitate greater quality for manufacturers across all
fronts.
We also explored VEGA’s sensors where the maize flour producer can effectively
maintain its quality standards and a clear overview of its wide wide-ranging
products and processes.
As we take you through the pages, we hope you’re keeping safe and look forward
to bringing you stories from the ground.
