Producing Commercial Food Products While Sustaining the Local Environment

October 22, 2018Health & Wellness

Manufacturing food products that taste good, look appetizing, and are preserved with the health of consumers in mind are just some of the challenges that food companies face. Businesses in the food manufacturing industry have to balance their desire to make as much profit as possible with social responsibility. One of the most important goals of commercial food producers is to be environmentally conscious as possible. Consider subcategories such as pork farmers, who have to deal with sanitation, waste, temperature control, and meeting the standards set out in the Meat Inspection Act. Some methods for dealing with sanitation, reducing waste, and preserving commercially made foods simply aren’t best for the environment. Find ways to manufacture commercial food products while protecting the world around you.

Why Be Environmentally Conscious?

A lot of commercial food products feature labels that announce that they are good for consumers and the environment like. Depending on what foods your company produces, this is a major plus with profitability is concerned. While your products sit on shelves or in the freezer section next to other foods that read “BPA free,’ or ‘free range’, you have to be able to offer something other than the lowest retail prices. Rather than looking to manufacture and sell your food products less expensively, it can be much better to make them more appealing to the general public in a different way. Modern food manufacturers are choosing the environmentally conscious route.

Creating a Plan for Responsibly Manufacturing Commercial Foods

Whether your company makes organic foods by hand or owns multiple commercial plants, there can be ways of operating in a more environmentally conscious manner. For your business, you might want to start looking to partner with transport companies that run on green energy. Installing solar panels and windmills at your manufacturing plants will also help with keeping negative environmental impact low. What is often more effective is analyzing what your company’s current impact is on the area immediately surrounding both customers and business operations. If you are using coal energy to cook commercial foods switching to electric will improve air quality. Using food manufacturing by-products to create new products will reduce waste overall.

Reviewing Current Food Manufacturing Processes

Companies need to look at what methods they are using to currently see what improvements can be made. For instance, there are green ways to store just about every food product in existence. Using commercial food containers made from recycled materials can lessen the negative impact your business has on the environment in an easily scalable way. Learn more here to see what types of commercial food storage containers can benefit your company immensely. Everything from the way you are cooking to packaging your commercial foods can be changed for the better. Changing some processes may be a bit on the expensive side to put into effect, but your budget can be altered to make it possible.

Finding Funding for Changing Food Manufacturing Processes Across Facilities

Successful commercial food manufacturers set aside large budgets for advertising, to keep money in reserves, and even to lobby for changes in the industry. As such, a creative business could find the money needed to make food manufacturing greener without a lot of effort. After changing an integral part of a food manufacturer’s business, said the company could produce a simple but effective commercial aimed at consumers who only purchase food products made by environmentally friendly companies. Less money can be spent on expensive TV commercial sets and a voice actor can deliver the message effectively via a detailed script. It can be worth it for companies looking to target a different customer base to ‘go back to basics’ so to speak when implementing expensive internal food processing changes.

Tracking Environmentally Conscious Commercial Food Making Results

When a company no longer uses any type of fossil fuels to produce a food product that is produced on a massive scale, measurable results should be obvious immediately. Supply costs should go down and pollution levels are also likely to drop. Food manufacturers are also likely to notice a reduction in local fines and even standard tax rates. In short, your company will be handsomely rewarded for being socially and environmentally conscious. Most of the time, any kind of change can be uncomfortable, even if it is predicted to make things overall better. Keep the positive results your company has been producing so that you can see what is happening instead of relying on feelings or profit reports. Measure pollution levels in the soil around your food manufacturing plants. See if waste runoff has gone down in local waterways. Anything that your business can use to advertise and announce the results of changes in the way food has been commercially processed should be considered a major win.

Using Environmentally Measures to Benefit the Brand

The meat industry is a great example of a commercial market that is constantly in the news because of the way that many food makers chose to do business. Sometimes the FDA has to announce a food recall product that potentially could have been avoided because of unsafe and irresponsible meat processing procedures. In each of these cases, there will be lawsuits, fines, and reputation crisis for companies to contend with. In other words, companies that choose to produce foods as cheaply as possible instead of the right way money will only be saved in the short run. It is better and more responsive overall to just make the investment to be environmentally responsible before something negative becomes highly publicized for all types of commercial food manufacturers. Foods made in green food manufacturing facilities are best for a plethora of reasons.

The changes that your business makes can be small in the beginning, especially if you are still trying to understand the concept. The results don’t have to be huge in order for your company to be proud of its efforts. Consider that if every company in your industry did the same thing, carbon footprints could be greatly reduced and water would stay cleaner. Cancer rates would be lower and the general public would be healthier.
