Closing the Loop: Rethinking De-Pack Rejects
De-packaging food lines generate unavoidable waste. But what if that waste could be disposed at significantly lower costs and with better environmental outcomes, without compromising operational efficiency? In this session, Advetec explores how its biotech systems reduce AD Plant reject mass by 60%, cutting disposal costs, and unlocking environmental value from materials previously destined for landfill or low-level incineration.
