Innovation, the
BCG Model for
Sustainability,
and the 4S’s
❝ Following a strong rebound in 2021, the global economy is entering a pronounced slowdown amid fresh threats from
COVID-19 variants and a rise in inflation, debt, and income inequality that could endanger the recovery in emerging and
developing economies, according to the World Bank’s latest Global Economic Prospects report. Global growth is expected
to decelerate markedly from 5.5% in 2021 to 4.1% in 2022 and 3.2 percent in 2023 as pent-up demand dissipates and as
fiscal and monetary support is unwound across the world.❞

The World Bank forecast, 2022

Growing Consumer Demand Post-COVID

While economists generally have a conservative view of growth across most industries, the food and beverage sectors seem to be performing
decently. The United Nations news portal reported just last month that the post-pandemic world economy is still feeling the sting from COVID-19.
However, GlobeNewswire found that the global food and beverages market grew from $6,729.54 billion in 2022 to $7,221.73 billion in 2023 at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.

Did You Know?

The First Bubble Wrap Was Invented by Accident

Bubble wrap was invented by two engineers named Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes in 1957. However, their initial intention was not
intended for packaging purposes.

Fielding and Chavannes were attempting to create a three-dimensional plastic wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together. They
sealed the curtains with tiny air bubbles trapped between them, thinking it would make create a nice wallpaper with texture. This creation
did not take off, but they realised it could be used for something else.

Trapped air bubbles have cushioning properties, so the two men thought that their creation could be used for protecting fragile items
during transportation. Subsequently, this product became known as the bubble wrap.

The BCG Model
The Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy Model is a wholistic approach
that focuses on the use of natural resources and regenerative
practices. There are three key principles in this model:
1) Bioeconomy: The promotion of sustainable use of natural
resources, as well as development of bio-based industries such
as agriculture and biotechnology. A bioeconomy uses renewable
resources to produce food, energy, materials and other bio-based
products.
2) Circular economy: A shift from the linear ‘take-make-dispose’
traditional approach, the circular economy keeps resources in use
continuously for as long as possible. Through recycling, reusing and
upcycling, it minimises waste and reduces environmental footprint.
3) Green economy: This is in response to urgent calls to combat climate
change. Green practices include reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
promoting energy efficiency, and proper waste management.
In line with the trend towards sustainability, the Future Food Corner
at Foyer 98 will feature activities and initiatives on how to maintain
food security through sustainable means.
The Innovation Stage by the World Packaging Organization (WPO)
will also include topics on sustainability, such as Recycled Content —
Renewable Materials, and Material Selection.
The 4S’s and the 8 Industry Zones in ProPak Asia 2023
Ms Rungphech Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director of ASEAN,
Informa Markets Thailand, said: “At this year's event, we are focusing
on the theme of the 4S’s — Supply Chain, Safety, Security, and
Sustainability, which will drive the food industry. The 4S’s can be seen
through the eight industry zones that we’ve set up.”
ProcessingTechAsia
A major challenge faced by food producers is the ever-changing
demand of consumers. Food products are likely to increase in variety,
which will shorten product life cycle in the market. Additionally,
products must be customised to meet individual demand. Automation
can help food manufacturers produce products efficiently in today's
complex production process. It also provides the flexibility to produce
a diverse range of products with higher quality and stricter food safety
standards. At the ProcessingTechAsia zone in ProPak Asia, many of
the exhibitors have addressed this challenge facing food producers.
Leading companies will showcase their food processing technology
and solutions to help food producers meet their needs in product
quality, food safety, health concerns and government regulations.
PackagingTechAsia
The packaging industry in Asia is experiencing rapid growth, with
several trends emerging to meet the evolving needs of consumers and
businesses. Among these trends, one of the most significant is the
shift towards sustainable packaging solutions, driven by increasing
consumer concerns about the environmental impact of packaging
materials. Governments in several countries have implemented strict
regulations on single-use plastics to encourage this transition.
DrinkTechAsia
With the beverage industry looking promising, this exhibition space is
set up to focus on brewing processes and packaging technology for
drinks. Asia is seeing the highest growth rate in the global beverage
market, dominating two-thirds of total forecasted market growth
over the next three years. This means many opportunities await
drink manufacturers, which also means competition will be tougher.
Technology, packaging, and other solutions are important factors for
success in the beverage sector. Meet several global companies who
DAY 2 15 JUNE 2023
will showcase the latest production and packaging technology, as well
as new services at this exhibition.
PharmaTechAsia

Lab&TestAsia
The lab tech and equipment market are expected to continue growing
as they are playing a more vital role in the pharmaceutical, chemical
and food & beverage sectors. Manufacturers need to stay up-to-date
with technology in order to seize market opportunity as developments
in laboratory and testing equipment grow. Nowadays, this equipment
plays a critical role in many processes and is the reason modern
equipment must be able to enhance competitiveness and allow
businesses to produce higher-quality products. Companies around the
world will demonstrate how to achieve more accuracy, save time and

Crafting the Future of
the Beverage Industry
From trend-spotting to
identifying challenges
a n d p rov i d i n g s m a r t ,
sustainable solutions,
Krones is one of the world’s
leading suppliers in its
field. To gain some insights
into their expertise, we
speak to Axel Cauvin, Head
of Bottling and Packaging
Equipment — Asia Pacific of
Krones (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
What are the major trends to look out for in the packaging and
processing sectors for the F&B industry?
I see 3 majors trends, Sustainability, digitalisation, and consumer-
centric design.
Sustainability is a major trend in the packaging and processing
sectors for the F&B industry. There is a growing demand for
eco-friendly materials and processes in packaging. Krones is
investing in research and development to offer sustainable
and innovative packaging solutions. Recyclable products are in
high demand, reducing environmental impact and appealing
to eco-conscious consumers. Additionally, Krones focuses on
implementing circular economy principles and water conservation
to promote sustainability.
Digitalisation is another significant trend in the industry.
Technologies like artificial intelligence and automation are being
used to enhance packaging design and production processes.
Krones incorporates advanced digital technologies to ensure
quality control and traceability throughout the production process,
meeting strict standards and providing consumer confidence in the
safety and quality of beverages.
materials. At Krones, sustainability drives innovation, and we’re
supported by digitalisation and holistic production services that
enhance performance while reducing resource consumption.
To address plastic waste, we have established a functioning
circular economy. Our solutions include material-saving packaging
design and the recycling of used plastics. We transform PET bottles
into rPET bottles, effectively utilising billions of bottles that would
otherwise end up in landfills. We acknowledge the challenges in
recycling and support global efforts to implement legal regulations
and standards for a more efficient plastic circular economy.
Many governments in Asia Pacific, for example, India, Indonesia,
Philippines, have introduced the EPR law (Extended Producer
Responsibility), a policy framework that holds the producers
accountable for the environmental impact. It is a strategy that
delegates the responsibility of trash reduction to producers,
brands, and manufacturers. To support these changes, we offer
innovative solutions like our ‘MetaPure’.
In addition to plastic waste, we are exploring expanding reusable
cycles as another avenue for waste reduction. We integrate
sustainability into our product development process and
continuously improve our environmental management system.
Our goal is to evaluate machine concepts for eco-efficiency,
considering factors like component efficiency, resource recycling,
and the environmental impact of packaging. Krones offers a
range of solutions that promote resource conservation, reduced
emissions, and circular economy practices to meet the demands
of the packaging and processing food industry.
Could you share how Krones plans to drive progression in the
beverage industry?
Krones has a clear, forward-looking plan in Asia. We’re focused on
expanding our presence in the region and bringing engineering
closer to customers. By leveraging local expertise, we aim to
develop tailor-made solutions that cater to the unique needs of
the market. We are proactive in addressing emerging challenges
and adapting our packaging solutions to meet new regulations and
standards, ensuring our customers stay compliant and maintain
a competitive edge. Our goal is to provide personalised solutions,
quicker response times, and foster stronger relationships to
enhance customer satisfaction and drive innovation in the
beverage industry.

Consumer-centric design is essential for companies to stand out

in a competitive market. Packaging innovation revolves around
enhancing consumer experiences through unique features
and functionalities. Customisation and personalisation are key
strategies to cater to evolving consumer preferences. Krones’
advanced digital technologies enable the creation of bespoke
packaging designs tailored to specific consumer needs, helping
beverage companies differentiate themselves.

Sustainability, digitalisation, and consumer-centric design are the

major trends shaping the packaging and processing sectors for
the F&B industry. As a leading provider of innovative packaging
solutions, Krones is well-prepared to address these trends and
contribute to a more sustainable and efficient future for the
industry.

In response to the challenges and demands of the packaging

and processing food industry, what kind of solutions do you
recommend?
Krones is deeply committed to sustainability and recognises the
urgent challenges facing the food and beverage industries. Our
corporate vision prioritises three key challenges: climate change, MetaPure W is one of the systems developed by Krones for PET recycling.

Weighing Opportunities and
Inspecting Solutions
Mettler-Toledo is known for their expertise in providing precision weighing solutions and inspection technologies.
We catch up with them in this exclusive interview, where they provide a comprehensive look at how they turn
trends into opportunities.
As technology continues to evolve, how do you envision the future
of weighing and inspection solutions? Are there any emerging
technologies or trends that Mettler-Toledo is actively exploring or
integrating into its product portfolio?
As technology continues to advance, we envision a future for weighing
and inspection solutions that is marked by increased automation and
smarter technologies. At Mettler-Toledo, we are actively exploring
and integrating emerging technologies into our product inspection
technology portfolio to stay at the forefront of any evolution.
Automation
We have developed automated product set-up and changeover
solutions that streamline the configuration process, reducing the time
and effort required from operators. This not only enhances efficiency
but also minimises the risk of human error.
Sustainability
Another area of focus is improving sustainability efforts by reducing
power consumption. Our innovative x-ray generator technology is
designed to deliver accurate and reliable inspection results while
consuming low energy. Our new X2 Series of x-ray systems now have
a streamlined design, reducing the number of parts within each
solution. Also, our range of combination systems also benefit from
a reduced amount of parts and number of legs on each machine
— instead of having 8 legs for 2 product inspection machines, a
combination solution will have 4 or 6 legs. By incorporating such
energy saving design initiatives into our products, we aim to
contribute to sustainability efforts and promote environmentally
friendly practices in the industry.
DAY 2 15 JUNE 2023
Smart Industrial Designs
Smart industrial designs are also a priority for us. Our recently
launched X2 Series is a great example of this. The X2 Series, which
streamlines the x-ray inspection process, features an intuitive
interface and easy-to-use controls for operation with minimal training
or supervision. This automation of setup and operation not only saves
time but also reduces the potential for human errors that can impact
accuracy and productivity.
The X2 Series also emphasises the importance of hygiene and
cleanliness. Food manufacturers can significantly reduce cleaning
output and maintenance routines as well as the need for complex
operator training with the X2 Series’ front-opening hygienic design. The
system makes it easy for operators to perform regular maintenance
routines. The conveyor belt can be removed swiftly and without
tools by releasing the tension with the handle situated on the in-
feed roller. The lead-free, low friction curtains also allow smooth
product transition through the machine, with the presence of curtains
constantly monitored to help keep the operator safe.
By reducing cleaning time and effort, the X2 Series enables operators
to focus more on critical tasks and ensures a hygienic inspection
environment, essential in the industry.
Combining Different Inspection Technologies
To accommodate the pressures of manufacturing facility space we have
combined different inspection technologies. The trend of integrating
checkweighing with metal detection or x-ray inspection coupled
with vision inspection offers enhanced quality control and detection

capabilities. This multi-layered approach provides comprehensive
product inspection, minimising the risk of contaminants and
maximising product safety. In addition, the manufacturer now only
needs to liaise with one supplier for integration, service, maintenance
and training. This leads to greater savings in terms of time and costs.
Going Paperless
All systems have their own monitoring and recording software.
However, there are data management software options available
that, through the right connectivity, can link all product inspection
systems and digitise inspection records. Mettler-Toledo ProdX™
can seamlessly connect different product inspection technologies
together. This integration not only enhances operational efficiency but
also enables connectivity with business systems such as Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP), facilitating streamlined data exchange and
decision-making processes.
Embracing Transparency
Transparency throughout the supply chain and food safety digital
maturity are also increasingly important in the industry. We are
committed to helping our customers achieve greater transparency by
providing comprehensive inspection solutions and data management
tools such as ProdX™. Such software solutions help companies to
comply with food safety standards and enhance overall food safety.
How does Mettler-Toledo navigate the complexities of working in
the Asia Pacific region? What is the recommended approach for
factors such as unique cultural differences, regulatory compliance
and trends specific to the region?
At Mettler-Toledo, we believe that working in the Asia Pacific region
presents many opportunities. As a global company, we recognise
the importance of understanding and respecting diverse cultural
differences. To address this, we have implemented localised strategies
and established regional offices, such as our office in Mumbai, India,
to ensure that we have a deep understanding of the local market
dynamics and cultural nuances.
Regulatory compliance is a crucial aspect of our operations in the Asia
Pacific region. We are committed to adhering to the specific regulatory
DAY 2 15 JUNE 2023
requirements of each country. We invest in thorough research and
analysis to stay up to date with the evolving regulatory landscape,
ensuring that our products and solutions comply with the region's
stringent standards. Our dedicated teams work closely with local
authorities and industry experts to navigate regulatory complexities
efficiently.
Additionally, we recognise the importance of staying ahead of region-
specific trends. We have established a Malaysia Test Centre, which
serves as a hub for research and development activities specifically
tailored to the Asia Pacific market. This centre enables us to gain
insights into local market trends, customer preferences and emerging
technologies. By understanding these trends, we can continuously
innovate and develop products and solutions that meet the unique
needs of the region.
We are also very proud of the innovative
programmes we have rolled out at the Malaysia
Test Centre, including our ‘Test Before You Invest'
service, which offers a seamless door-to-door
product collection and delivery. Through a
logistics company, food manufacturers can
safely send their packaged food products to
the Test Centre for evaluation and assessment,
covering contaminant detection and
checkweighing considerations. This
service enables manufacturers to make
informed decisions on purchasing the
right product inspection technology for
their production lines.
Further, to effectively navigate the
complexities of the Asia Pacific region, we also
foster a strong network of local partnerships
and collaborations. We actively engage with
customers, industry associations and regulatory
bodies to foster relationships, exchange knowledge and
address region-specific challenges. By working closely with local
stakeholders, we ensure that our solutions align with the market
requirements and provide maximum value to our customers.
Are there any special demonstrations or exclusive offers that

Cool Packaging Ideas
You Can Use for Your Brand
Edible Packaging
In an innovative bid to combat plastic waste, some food and beverage
companies have chosen to create edible packaging. Cupffee, a Bulgarian
startup, has created an edible coffee cup that consumers can munch on
once they’ve finished their drink. The cup is made from vegan ingredients
such as oat bran, wheat flour and water. It is 100% GMO-free with no artificial
colourants, sweeteners or preservatives. It is also 100% vegan. And, rest
assured that the cup does not alter the taste of your beverage. Go on, eat
your cup.
Augmented Reality (AR)
There are plenty of ways to engage consumers via AR. A menu can be changed
up by offering a QR code, which will show customers how an actual product
will look like before purchase. AR can also entertain customers by engaging
them in virtual games and events. For example, Ben & Jerry’s once developed
a game to promote their new marshmallow moon flavour. They launched a
fun AR filter on Facebook that would allow users to catch marshmallows using
their mouths. The purpose was to introduce a new ice cream flavour and
engage users in a fun game that would help them feel more connected to the
brand. The shareable content also allowed users to share the game with more
people, increasing the benefits of the marketing campaign.

Portion-Control Packaging
This refers to packaging solutions that are designed to contain pre-measured
or smaller-serving portions of a product. The Twist Wrap packaging solution
for Cadbury allows consumers to twist and seal half of a chocolate bar from
its Duos range to save for later, with the intention of encouraging reduced
portions and more mindful snacking. The brand also has its other range of
candy bars available in bite-sized portions. One major draw of portion-control
packaging is that it allows people to enjoy food without over-indulging. It is
also a sustainable choice as it reduces wastage, since conventional packaging
often cannot be consumed by one individual in one sitting. Portioned food
offers consumers the choice for on-the-go consumption as well, making this
a convenient option that’s appealing to consumers.
NFC
NFC, or near field communication, is a type of wireless communication
technology. A prototype bottle of Diageo’s premium Johnnie Walker (JW)
Blue Label Whisky contains an NFC tag that was shown at the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona in 2016. The tag extends to the cap so that any effort
to break the seal would also damage the tag and, while keeping the response
function to an NFC reader, would also transmit data to say the seal had been
broken. The tag will not only act as a security or anti-counterfeit device, but
can also include information for consumers. They need simply tap their
smartphone on the device to receive cocktail recipes for spirits, compatible
foods, offers and other marketing messages.
