Tastes good, meets do good.
Demand for environmentally friendly food and beverages is higher than ever. However, not all manufacturers are finding success. The reason? Consumers have raised the stakes; for them doing the right thing shouldn’t come at an extra expense, whether that’s cost, quality or convenience.
"I want to decrease the impact I have on the world, but more sustainable options often result in spoilage or an unpleasant dining experience.”

People want planet-positive options that still deliver on taste, quality and shelf life. The real opportunity for manufacturers is to make sustainability feel seamless. Success means creating tasty and eco-friendly products that don't require a lifestyle change; they simply fit effortlessly into everyday life.
Common challenges:
Incorporating more sustainable farming practices into ingredient sourcing. | Developing formulations that use upcycled ingredients for minimal impact. | Strengthening local supply‑chain management to reduce impact and improve resilience. |
Consumers want quality you can count on.
Whether it’s sitting in the pantry for weeks or tucked away for months, consumers want quality that doesn’t budge. In this fast-paced world, they’re choosing products that stay tasty, stable and safe, helping them minimise waste and stretch their budget further.
67% of consumers are committed to buying only what they need to reduce food waste.¹
42% of consumers are considering a shift towards more frozen and long-lasting food options.²
By using advanced stabilisation, manufacturers are creating products that maintain integrity through storage, temperature shifts, and even supply chain disruptions. They’ve found the key to locking in that ‘day-one experience,’ so every bite remains as vibrant as the first.
Common challenges:
Frozen goods that form ice crystals, leading to soggy, unappealing food when defrosted. | Soups and sauces that become lumpy or rancid when stored for too long. | Baked goods that become mouldy or inedible when exposed to the wrong temperature. |
