POLLUTION UNDERSTANDING AND REDUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN THE FOOD AND DRINK INDUSTRIES

Cel

The food and drink industry sector is an essential pillar of Europe’s economy, culture, and food security. Yet, it is also a significant source of environmental pressures, with pollution emissions spanning water, air, and soil. Besides traditional pollutants such as organic matter, nutrients, and odorous compounds that have long been addressed, there is growing concern over emerging and less-known pollutants such as microplastics, PFAS, ARG, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. These substances may persist in the environment, accumulate through the food chain, and produce adverse effects on ecosystems and human health, and even act in combination through “cocktail” effects, but knowledge on their impact is currently limited. In addition, knowledge on pollutant pathways and hotspots is fragmented, hindering effective prioritisation of mitigation measures, while available treatment technologies are not always adapted or optimised for the specific contaminant profiles generated by different sectors. In this context, and with increasing pressure to meet public and policy expectations for sustainability and transparency, an integrated holistic approach that combines rigorous scientific assessment, harmonised monitoring methods, real-world demonstration of solutions and active multi-actor engagement is required.
PURE-FOOD directly aims to address these challenges through six case studies across the EU and beyond, covering different food and drink industries sub-sectors: poultry (Norway), dairy (Greece), brewery (Spain), table olive processing (Greece), potato processing (Belgium), aquaculture (Colombia). Our consortium gathers experts in advanced technological solutions for water treatment, quality monitoring and pollution control, as well as specialists in ecotoxicity assessment, BAT and stakeholder engagement to ensure that the project contributes to increased knowledge of pollution, mapping, methods developed to measure and reduce it, and healthier diets and biodiversity.
