United against food waste
Fighting food waste is a team effort. It takes dedication all the way from cow to consumer.
Creating a more sustainable kitchen
From a chef's perspective, wasting food means wasting flavor and profit, and that's just a shame. But it's also a waste of money and natural resources, not to mention that it's food that other people might as well have enjoyed. At Arla® Pro, we’re dedicated to minimising food waste – in our own dairies and production lines as well in the kitchens of our customers.
Optimising our dairies
In our own dairies, we work constantly to optimise production while minimising waste, through intelligent technology and close collaboration with customers and suppliers.

Precise packaging
We put a lot of focus on maximising the freshness and shelf life of our products. Designing packaging which is easy to fold and fully empty, in precisely the right size for every product and occasion, means less goes to waste.
