Our impact
At JBT Marel, we're here to support your journey towards a more sustainable and efficient future.
JBT Marel’s greatest opportunity to support a sustainable food value chain remains in our integrated technologies, equipment, software, and services. Nearly 10 billion people are expected to inhabit the planet by 2050, which will require a 56% increase in the amount of food produced worldwide.* We help food processors meet this challenge more efficiently and sustainably. Our solutions optimize food processing yields while minimizing environmental resource use, producing safe, high-quality foods, reducing food loss and waste, extending shelf-life, and improving workflows. This, combined with our scale, dramatically expands our opportunities to have a positive global impact.
For JBT Marel customers, processing more food doesn’t always need to involve consuming more resources. Our integrated technologies, equipment, software, and services empower customers to optimize food yield and resource efficiency by employing cutting-edge processes, and technologies.
From the reduction of energy and water usage to streamlining production processes and prolonging equipment lifespans, we help businesses achieve higher output with fewer inputs. This not only boosts our customers’ profitability but also conserves valuable resources and helps them meet their goals, supporting the development of increasingly sustainable food systems.
Food loss can impact food producers’ profitability and hamper their ability to meet environmental goals. With solutions that preserve food quality and safety, extend shelf life, and improve precision and traceability, JBT Marel helps processors reduce food loss and waste.
By minimizing waste, producers can maximize their resources and improve operational efficiency. Together, this contributes to a more resilient food system and sustainable development.
JBT Marel is dedicated to creating robust and long-lasting processing solutions, ensuring customers maximize their investment value. Our products are designed with circularity in mind, using recycled materials where possible and simplifying repairs and upgrades to minimize waste and costs.
We extend equipment lifecycles through data-driven preventive maintenance and offer refurbished equipment for purchase or lease to meet various needs. Our repair and exchange program provides refurbished parts, allowing customers to replace components and return the old ones for refurbishment. This approach reduces ownership costs and reinforces our commitment to sustainability and circularity.
JBT Marel is dedicated to delivering efficient, sustainable, and safe solutions by integrating health, safety, and environmental considerations throughout the product lifecycle. Our products meet safety standards from design through development, and our workforce is trained to identify health, safety, and environmental issues during production. Regular audits ensure compliance, while user manuals provide safety and maintenance guidelines to protect the users of the solutions.
We offer customer support for quick issue resolution and guidance on responsible equipment disposal to reduce environmental impact. Additionally, we manage substances of concern in our machinery responsibly, ensuring safety and reinforcing our commitment to protecting people and the planet.
