Partnering with Food & Beverage Customers to Achieve Net Zero
Looking for innovative environmental solutions to transform your industry and achieve your net zero objectives? Veolia provides customers with the most efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions, whilst maintaining operational efficiency and maximising profitability.
The food and beverage industry of Australia and New Zealand is a major contributor to both commerce and employment, with a 26% share of Australia’s total manufacturing value. It is also known worldwide for continually providing the wider community with an enviable range of produce due to climatic differences across the continent. Veolia works with many of Australia’s largest food and beverage suppliers, such as: Lion, Mars, Coca-Cola, Fonterra, and Nestle, and remains committed to closing the loop within the food and beverage supply chain, to divert waste from landfill where possible.
Challenges for the Food and Beverage Industry
The food and beverage industry, which includes: dairy, abattoirs and meat processors, bottled beverages, breweries, baked products, and flour and cereal facilities, continues to produce solutions driven by consumer demand – focusing on value, quality, availability and diversity. This constant demand raises a unique set of challenges that could affect operations and production, some of which include: ever-changing industry conditions, research and product development, supply chain enhancements and efficiencies, quality, safety, and environment assurance, competition from overseas manufactures, sustainable packaging, fluctuating commodity prices and saturated market conditions
