Abstract

Abstract The aim of the study is to present the determinants of the potential application of the circular economy model in the food processing sector on the example the dairy industry. The first part of the article analyzes various factors that stimulate and limit the transformation of the dairy industry towards the circular economy. The second part presents the examples of solutions corresponding to the idea of a circular economy that have been implemented or are planned to be implemented in dairy enterprises. This paper is an overview. It uses strategic eu and national documents, literature on the circular economy in agri--food systems, as well as reports from the trade press presenting specific examples of the implementation of circular economy solutions in dairies. The analysis shows that in the dairy industry there are great opportunities to implement the circular economy model, but it is a complex process under the influence of stimulating and limiting factors. It requires systemic changes at various levels of the economy, significant financial resources, and above all, adaptation investments in the field of innovative technologies, energy systems, and water and wastewater management. Successful activities supporting the transformation towards the circular economy implemented in dairy enterprises include in particular solutions consisting in: reducing the amount of waste produced and reusing it, direct use of by-products, using renewable energy sources (in heating and cooling systems), reducing consumption of water and reusing it, using eco-friendly packaging and sustainable transportation. In conclusion, it should be stated that the actions taken by the food processing sector, including the dairy industry, aimed at transformation towards the circular economy are necessary, especially in the context of the challenges related to the european Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy.

食品加工业实施循环经济的决定因素——以乳制品行业为例
摘要本研究的目的是提出循环经济模式在食品加工部门的潜在应用的决定因素,以乳制品行业为例。文章的第一部分分析了促进和限制乳制品行业向循环经济转型的各种因素。第二部分介绍了在乳制品企业中已经实施或计划实施的与循环经济理念相对应的解决方案的例子。本文是一篇综述。它使用了欧盟和国家的战略文件,关于农业食品系统循环经济的文献,以及来自行业媒体的报道,介绍了在乳制品中实施循环经济解决方案的具体例子。分析表明,在乳制品行业实施循环经济模式的机会很大,但在激励因素和限制因素的影响下,这是一个复杂的过程。它需要在经济的各个层面进行系统性变革,需要大量的财政资源,最重要的是,需要在创新技术、能源系统以及水和废水管理领域进行适应性投资。支持乳制品企业向循环经济转型的成功活动包括:减少产生的废物量并加以再利用,直接利用副产品,使用可再生能源(在加热和冷却系统中),减少水的消耗并加以再利用,使用环保包装和可持续运输。总之,应该指出的是,食品加工部门(包括乳制品行业)采取的旨在向循环经济转型的行动是必要的,特别是在与欧洲绿色协议和农场到餐桌战略相关的挑战背景下。
