INTERVIEW 18 F&A Alternative Proteins Edition April 2023 In these days when feeding the growing world population is becoming a major challenge, there is an increasing interest in sustainable alternative resources and efficient use of existing resources. Andritz is one of the companies that has increased its efforts towards these resources. The company focuses heavily on plant-based protein sources, insect proteins and side streams that are considered waste. Technologies for the processing of these resources and their use in human and animal nutrition are realized with Andritz's engineering expertise. Dr. Christian Kling, Product Home Manager Alternative Protein Solutions at ANDRITZ Separation GmbH, highlights both the importance of alternative proteins in human and animal nutrition, and Andritz's solutions for processing these sources and the role of technology in scaling alternative protein production. Mr. Kling, we have to talk more and more every day about how to feed the growing world population. How much do you think alternative proteins, which are highlighted as alternatives or supplements to animal proteins and described as promising, can contribute to feeding the world population? Feeding the growing global population currently is a core challenge and it will be in future. Most important is to find sustainable ways to increase protein availability. Using alternative proteins to produce replacements for meat is a well-known example. “THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE PROTEINS HAS MOVED FROM A TREND TO REALITY” Dr. Christian Kling, Product Home Manager Alternative Protein Solutions at ANDRITZ Separation GmbH “At ANDRITZ, we focus on plant-based proteins, insects and side streams, esp. animal residues.
