The Belgian supermarket and wholesaler, Colruyt, has a large number of their own production and packaging facilities. The environment and sustainability are key issues at Colruyt Group.
“Our products need to be not just tasty but also sustainably produced, healthy and safe. We work alongside all the manufacturers and suppliers in the production chain in order to produce the product in a sustainable way.” The chain of subsidiary companies undertake to limit food waste to a minimum. Leak detection is one of the means of achieving this.
Colruyt is working on a daily basis with the Oxipack Stationary Leak Testers in their cheese and coffee packaging factories.
“We used to use the bubble test method for testing the cheese packaging and had to destroy the product and packaging afterwards. Now we are using the Stationary Leak Tester we simply return the tested cheese to the production process. Apart from the positive contribution to reducing food waste, the Oxipack leak tester also resulted in reduction of costs within one year.”
