Food Manufacturers

Pennsylvania, also known as the “Snack Food Capital of the World,” generates around $38.4 billion annually worth of manufactured food products.  While there may be environmental compliance requirements to consider, there are plenty of opportunities for sustainability in food production.

 

Environmental Considerations in Food

Three important segments in food production to consider when increasing sustainability are operations, packaging, and waste – especially food waste. Explore energy efficient equipment, consider using recyclable packaging, and join a food waste initiative to increase sustainability in your small food production business.
