Tetra Pak, a world-leading processing and packaging solutions company has initiated the Dairy Processing Task Force - a joint coalition that aims to bring in figures from across the dairy sector to improve approaches to decarbonisation within dairy processing. Its formation reinforces Tetra Pak's contribution to the global dairy sector's Pathways to Dairy Net Zero Initiative.
The Dairy Processing Task Force, spearheaded by Tetra Pak, will explore the innovative systems and technologies needed to further drive down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across dairy production systems and regions. At present, dairy accounts for 2.7% of the world's GHG emissions.
Championing the implementation of more sustainable solutions, Tetra Pak will lead discussions with pivotal players in the dairy sector to drive the latest advances in processing technology and share best practices across the industry. New innovations and technologies have the potential to reduce energy and water consumption, as well as food waste, in dairy production.
The core deliverables of the Dairy Processing Task Force will be developed as members join, in an effort to maximise the potential value of each member's contribution. In general, the Task Force aims to:
- Measure and mitigate GHG emissions in dairy processing
- Create and share best practices to reduce GHG emissions
- Identify and implement credible reduction solutions
- Establish industry standard sustainability guidelines and reporting frameworks to encourage consistency and joint purpose
In many parts of the world, dairy serves as a major source of nutrition, and with the global population set to hit 10 billion in 2050, its role in global food systems is vital. However, there is an urgent need to mitigate its environmental impact. As such, the Task Force will look specifically at what can be done to further lower emissions without compromising outputs or nutritional value, s

Samir El Atassi, Processing Director, Tetra Pak (Thailand) Limited says: "We are committed to support the local dairy industry by increasing productivity and reducing emissions as part of our sustainable food systems strategy everywhere around the world, including Thailand.
New technologies in dairy production have the potential to reduce energy and water consumption as well as food waste. We plan to move forward in this direction to align with our global sustainability goal of reaching net-zero GHG across the value chain by 2050. We believe that if we work together with our customers, suppliers and partners, we can accelerate real climate change action in the dairy sector along with other industry leaders."
Donald Moore, Executive Director, Global Dairy Platform, said: "Globally, the dairy industry is working to produce highly nutritious foods sustainably and responsibly to meet the demands of a growing world population. However, the impact of climate change leaves the entire value chain at risk, and as an industry, it is critical we act quickly and strategically on environmental issues.
"As a global leader in innovative systems that improve the efficiency, quality, and safety of food production and processing technologies, we believe that Tetra Pak is well suited to lead the processing component of the Pathways to Dairy Net Zero Initiative."
