Role of the Food and Beverage Industry in the Circular Economy

The circular economy in  the food and beverage industry means addressing shifting demographics, evolving consumer behavior, and changes in customer preferences and demands.

A growing population and the continuing need to ensure food security across the globe have made the food and beverage industry one of the vital ones, intertwined in people’s daily lives around the world.

The industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources and has traditionally witnessed an imbalance between inputs/resources consumed and the products/goods produced; it is also one of the energy-intensive industries, if we take into account the entire operations, right from agricultural inputs to manufacturing, processing, and retail.

In this article, we’ll address how to prepare your food and beverage operations to meet the future regulation for the circular economy approach.
