In recent years, climate change, which is believed to be caused by global warming, has become a global issue, and efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases are being sought. It is predicted that the global population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and the environmental impact brought on by increased livestock meat production in conjunction with population growth is raising concerns, due to increased greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock, expansion of deforestation for the cultivation of feed grains and massive water consumption for raising livestock. Therefore, it is expected that there will be a shift towards more sustainable plant-based proteins from livestock meat in the future.
We are working on development of plant-based, shelf-stable sausages through collaboration with our customers, connecting shelf-stable sausage manufacturers who are using Krehalon films and plant-based food producers. We aim to contribute to the sustainable growth of society by spreading the use of environmentally friendly sausages throughout the world.
