From Hilmar’s celebration of a new cheese and whey processing plant in Dodge City, Kan., to Danone’s $65 million investment to ramp up production of its International Delight creamers and STōK Cold Brew Coffee, dairy plants are investing in the future of dairy with an everlasting focus on quality, sustainability, and partnership.

As dairy processors continue to set sustainability goals, sustainable packaging is a big part of the solution to achieve these directives. Many dairy processors have pinpointed 2030 as a date to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their products. 

When it comes to consumer demand for sourcing and traceability of dairy products, the word “transparency” looms large. Transparency regarding not only food safety, but consumers wanting to know ingredients in products they consume are properly sourced and traced. 

Dairy packaging has long been defined by its complexity. Moisture sensitivity, cold chain logistics and product variety all combine to make it one of the most technically demanding sectors in the food industry. 

Each year, Dairy Foods and the American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI) host the Membrane Technology Forum, an event that serves as a research update from the network of agencies, associations, suppliers and producers engaged in the dynamic field of membrane filtration and separation. Membrane systems are important in milk, cheese and yogurt as well as in whey protein.
