Food and Beverage
industry’s ‘Global Food Innovation Summit’ in Milan. Together they presented a project aimed at promoting healthy, balanced and sustainable diets. The event offered a privileged stage for international encounters on themes such as food security, food safety and the struggle to minimise food waste, as well as to reflect on the whole agri-food system of today. The keynote speakers included the actor Alec Baldwin, who is actively involved in campaigns in favour of the environment, Kerry Kennedy, President of the Robert J.F. Kennedy Centre for Justice and human rights, and Jose Graziano da Silva, Director General of the FAO. The combination of reducing the carbon footprint and moving towards more conscious nutrition was featured within the group’s exhibition section, which saw spotlights trained on the latest London
Meal Vending machine from Sirap. The strong point delivered at the event by EPTA and Sirap was the maximum attention that needed to be paid to the protection of the environment. Now thanks to the choice of propane, a natural low-impact refrigerant – and Sirap’s Meal18 packaging, which can optimise expiry dates, a significant n reduction in food waste and energy can be achieved.
