Main themes? Sustainability…
As in all other sectors of industry, sustainability is a mega theme in the beverages world, too. Innovative process technology, such as will be on show at drinktec 2013, aims at reducing consumption of energy and water, and thereby at increasing overall cost-efficiency. In packaging, too, the emphasis is on efficient use of resources, specifically in terms of reducing material thicknesses. Further overarching themes at drinktec 2013 are the flexibility of plant and equipment, hygienic design and quality control.
Flexibility and product safety
Beverages manufacturers in the industrialized countries are bringing out new creations in quick succession. In emerging economies rising living standards are generating a boom in demand for high-quality, hygienically perfect beverages. In China and Africa consumption of packaged beverages is rising especially fast. Market researchers are expecting global consumption to rise by 3.4% by 2013. And, as consumption rises, so, too, do the demands on filling systems.
