I don’t need to tell you: There’s an awful lot of hubbub about plant-based diets these days. A few press releases drop into my inbox on the daily announcing the introduction of another vegetarian or vegan creation—whether from a new start-up or an established food giant getting into the action. And as we get back to in-person events, it is interesting to see how many equipment suppliers are touting the use of their systems for plant-based applications.
We’re taking a great interest in how this growing sector is shaping up. It hasn’t become completely clear to me yet how much this part of the industry will rely on existing equipment and technologies to process alternative proteins or instead demand systems that meet their particular needs. There have been some interesting discussions so far.
