An international initiative to reduced food waste

This year’s event will see the launch of the SAVE FOOD initiative aimed at cutting the amount of food wasted globally. The initiative is a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and Messe Düsseldorf.

The initiative promotes collaboration between organisations and businesses throughout the value chain, ‘from field to fork’, to work out solutions at all levels that help contribute to the overall aim. The fact that more than 850 leading international organisations, businesses and research institutes are taking part shows just how seriously the international community is taking the issue of food waste. Companies taking part include Siemens, Tetra Pak, Dupont, Berry Global, Danwell Equipment, Printpack, and BOSCH.

swop 2017 sees SAVE FOOD being introduced to China, with a forum and featured area designated to it. Attendees from food, beverage, confectionery and bakery industries but especially meat, fresh food, fruit, vegetable, agricultural products and liquid food will have the chance to learn more about the initiative and what they can do to play their part.

Solutions will be discussed on prolonging food shelf-life, and how to stop food being damaged or spoiled during transit.

Future packaging materials showcase and forum

At the inaugural swop, there was a designated area for ‘Packaging Materials and Products’ in cooperation with non-profit organisation ‘Packaging Family’, which has more than 600 members from the global industry. At this year’s event, ‘FMCG Future Zone’ will be triple the size and have a distinctive theme.

More than 600 established packaging manufacturers are expected to attend, spanning a diverse range of materials such as adhesives, metals, plastics, glass, paper, printing, and wood.

swop gives manufacturers a platform to showcase their high-quality products for users in the fast-moving consumer goods sector, improving brand competitiveness through a cross-boundary exchange of ideas, products and solutions.

Alongside this, a FMCG forum will invite the discussion between attendees on burning issues across markets that include food, drinks, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Next-generation packaging solutions

Packaging innovations and future developments will be the themes of the ‘innovationparc’ area. Intelligent devices and solutions will be showcased for the complete supply chain. Exhibitors and attendees will have an opportunity to explore future possibilities in the packaging industry for cost efficiencies and minimsing carbon footprint.

Components exhibition for processing and packaging

swop 2017 will host the ‘components’ section, which originally ran in 2014 in parallel with Interpack. Its target is technology companies offering motors and drives, sensors, control, handling, software, and communications. In addition, it will feature manufacturers of automated systems for packaging machines.
