Background
Microbiologically sensitive still beverages require either treatment or preservatives to achieve shelf stability.
In Europe, aseptic production process for PET production are commonly used and highly effective for, but come with several constraints:
- High Initial Investment: Setting up an aseptic production line requires a significant capital investment in specialized equipment.
- Operational Costs: The process involves high operational costs due to the need for sterilization chemicals, water, and energy.
- Skilled Labor: Operating an aseptic production line requires highly skilled and specially trained operators.
- Quality Control: Ensuring sterility is crucial, as any contamination can lead to product spoilage and health risks.
Challenge
We aim to transform our business by exploring innovative solutions that can produce microbiologically sensitive still beverages with shelf stability, without relying on aseptic lines, hot-fill, or warm-fill methods.
Our goal is to identify cutting-edge technologies or methodologies that will maintain product safety and quality, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact.
Key Considerations:
- Ensure shelf stability without compromising on product quality or safety.
- Solution must be compliant with relevant EU regulation
- Solution shall allow “Clean label”
- Minimize dependency on high energy, water, and chemical usage.
- Reduce operational costs while maintaining efficiency.
- Solution can be adopted for CAN and Glass production
We are seeking innovative solutions at any stage of development. If your solution does not match all above key considerations we still encourage you to apply.
What's in it for you?
We invite technology providers, researchers, and innovators to propose solutions that can help us achieve these objectives and revolutionize the way we produce shelf-stable non-carbonated beverages.
Possibility to engage with an international Company and develop a solution that can be expanded and scaled across the globe.
Virtual pitching sessions will be held with all applicants who are of interest.
