Tetra Pak Launches 'Factory Sustainable Solutions' to Boost Sustainability in Food and Beverage Production
Source: The DairyNews
Today, Tetra Pak introduced its new 'Factory Sustainable Solutions' initiative, an integral part of the company's expanded sustainability portfolio aimed at Food and Beverage (F&B) producers. This initiative offers a tailored suite of advanced technologies and comprehensive plant integration capabilities designed to optimize the use of energy, water, and cleaning-in-place (CIP) resources in factory settings.
Amidst mounting pressures from increased operational costs, including raw material prices and new environmental taxes, F&B producers face a critical need to enhance resource efficiency and boost renewable energy utilization. Tetra Pak's 'Factory Sustainable Solutions' is poised to address these challenges by helping producers not only meet their sustainability goals but also achieve significant operational cost reductions.
The offering capitalizes on a factory-wide approach that integrates solutions at any stage of production to help recover and minimize resource consumption. This strategy promises to reduce long-term operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions while aligning with stringent sustainability standards.
Tetra Pak's dedicated team supports customers by identifying optimal technologies and integration solutions tailored to their specific operational needs, resulting in customized installation plans that maximize efficiency in water, energy, and CIP systems.
Key technologies featured in the 'Factory Sustainable Solutions' include:
Nanofiltration: Developed by Tetra Pak, this technology recycles caustic cleaning solutions used in CIP processes, allowing up to 90% recovery of chemicals and water for reuse.
Reverse Osmosis: This proprietary technology enhances resource efficiency in applications such as milk separation and water recycling.
In collaboration with pioneering technology providers, Tetra Pak is also incorporating:
HighLift™ Heat Pump Technology: Developed with Olvondo Technology A/S, this system reuses waste heat for steam production in plant equipment, operating at pressures up to 10 bar.
High Temperature Heat Pumps: In partnership with Johnson Controls, this technology recycles process waste heat for use elsewhere in the manufacturing process.
Solar Thermal Collectors: Working with Absolicon, this solution harnesses solar energy to deliver hot water and steam for Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) applications.
Stefano Vittor, CEO of Olvondo Technology A/S, expressed enthusiasm about integrating their HighLift heat pump technology into Tetra Pak's offerings, emphasizing the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the F&B sector. Fredrik Norrbom, Director at Johnson Controls in Sweden, highlighted the critical role of heat pumps in enhancing energy efficiency and achieving net zero emissions when combined with renewable electricity sources.
Nicole Uvenbeck, Director of Factory Sustainable Solutions and OEM Components at Tetra Pak, remarked on the significance of this launch, stating, "This is a crucial milestone for Tetra Pak, underlining our commitment to pioneering sustainable solutions that bring substantial benefits to our customers."
