Every year, 2.8 million tons of food are lost along the value chain in Switzerland alone. Globally, it is estimated that 30% of food is wasted from farm to table.
We firmly believe that a large portion of today’s food waste can be prevented. This is what we stand for. To continue combating unnecessary food waste and to position our efforts within the industry, we have joined the initiative United Against Waste (UAW). This step underscores our role as a pioneer in sustainability within the food industry, specifically when it comes to reducing food waste.
A Proven Commitment to Sustainability
Our dedication to sustainable practices is evident in the development of innovative, efficient, and environmentally friendly food processing machinery. Our products are known for meeting the highest production standards while minimizing energy consumption and especially waste at every stage of food processing. As a member of United Against Waste, we reaffirm our commitment to working with other industry stakeholders to develop solutions that reduce food waste.
Why Preventing Food Waste Matters
Globally, nearly one-third of all produced food is wasted—a staggering figure with severe economic, social, and environmental consequences. Food waste not only consumes resources unnecessarily but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. For us, combating food waste is an essential part of our corporate mission, which is focused on sustainable development, resource conservation, and improved food safety.
Our vision with UAW
We are committed to a range of concrete actions aimed at helping the food industry prevent waste and promote sustainable practices. Our key objectives include:
- Developing Waste-Reducing Technologies:
Continuing to innovate machinery that minimizes waste during food processing. With precise cutting, grating, and portioning systems, we ensure only the required amount of food is processed, leaving minimal waste. - Promoting Knowledge Transfer:
Collaborating with other UAW members to educate the food industry on waste reduction and sustainability, fostering the adoption of eco-friendly production processes. - Supporting Policy and Regulatory Changes:
Advocating for policies that promote sustainable practices, making it easier for the food industry to minimize waste. This encourages responsible resource management across the sector.
Looking Ahead: Our Role as Sustainability Leaders
Joining UAW marks an important milestone for our company. This collaboration enables us to leverage collective knowledge and resources while taking decisive actions to achieve our ambitious sustainability goals. Through UAW, we aim to establish more sustainable processing methods, drive the reduction of food waste, and lead by example in promoting environmentally friendly practices within the industry.
