A path to circularity
The challenges and opportunities for the food industry to become more sustainable are outlined in a white paper Food Packaging Versus Food Waste – Moving Towards a Circular Economy, sponsored by Ishida Europe and Aston Business School.
Under pressure
Tesco has committed to increase its sales of healthy food to 65% of total sales by 2025 following pressure from some shareholders to set targets.
Creatively sustainable
Food and drink companies have achieved a 55 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions – five years before the target was due to be reached.
Open for business…
For many food and drink manufacturers supplying the hospitality and food service sectors, a return to business as usual seems an awful long way off.
Innovation – driving the competitive gap
R&D spend goes on solutions that will reduce energy, waste, and water by 50 per cent.
Brewing nicely
Alcohol-free brews continued the positive trajectory of recent years, growing by 11%, according to Carlsberg.
Mega-merger, mega-opportunity
IFF has a new brand identity, a new tagline, purpose, brand commitments, and cultural attributes and values.
Do as I do
A study of 2,000 adults revealed nearly half (45 per cent) have felt forced to either reduce or cut out their intake of meat products entirely.
Sobering thought
Last year only two thirds of consumers had even heard of non-alcoholic beer, now that figure is 3-in-4. Awareness of non-alcoholic spirits and wine has also grown significantly.
A new gin-eration
75% of Britons said they prefer to always, or mostly, drink in the comfort of their own home.
Veganuary: planting the seeds for future gains
One million official Veganuary participants in just seven years is a huge achievement, but the momentum behind the plant-based revolution is just gathering speed.
A year to remember…
2020 has not only made us more cautious of our surroundings but made us more conscious of our lifestyle choices.

Waste for good…
Circularity is not just about returns, companies have to take more responsibility, with residual resources, such as food processing surplus streams.

Normality resumes
Even with the lockdown lifted in part, 2020 seems to have changed consumers on a longer-term basis and their preference to cook at home.
