New project against food waste launched in Austria
Published
In Austria, there is a new initiative to improve the handling of resources in the food industry. The project, named "AVÖL," has set itself the goal of significantly reducing the amount of avoidable food waste and packaging waste in domestic businesses.
Food processing is an important economic sector in Austria. However, large quantities of waste that could actually be avoided often arise during production or due to faulty packaging. The AVÖL project is now examining these very processes to identify weaknesses in production.
Various companies are working together with experts on the project. The goal is to develop innovative solutions that are both ecologically and economically sensible. Through better planning and more modern packaging techniques, valuable food is to be saved from the bin.
The results of the project are intended to serve as a guideline for the entire industry in the future. With this, the aim is to make an important contribution to environmental protection and to strengthen sustainability in the Austrian food industry in the long term.
