One of the key points for the medium-term competitiveness of the food industry is the transformation of its production model towards a more sustainable one. The challenge facing the sector is how to become more sustainable while ensuring stable, inclusive, safe and healthy growth. At Veolia, we have adapted our activities to help the food industry in its transformation towards sustainability, providing solutions to improve water management in an environment of scarcity and increased demand, and promoting the use of renewable energies to reduce or eliminate environmental impact. Some of the most efficient sustainable transformation solutions are the reuse of wastewater, steam generation from biomass or biogas, photovoltaic energy or the optimization of energy costs from digital solutions. Other high-value options are currently in the validation phase.
