The Bilbao Port Authority, set to showcase at ExpoFoodTech the solutions it is rolling out to help the food industry meet the challenge of reducing its environmental impact

From 27 to 28 May, the Bilbao Port Authority will take part in Food 4 Future/ExpoFoodTech, Europe’s leading event on innovation and transformation in the food industry, where technology, sustainability and digitalisation come together to redefine the future of the sector.

At this event, to be held at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, the Port of Bilbao will have its own stand (2D412). Additionally, at 12:00 on 27 May, the Port is set to take part in a conference session featuring Andima Ormaetxe, Director of Operations, Sales and Logistics at the Port of Bilbao, on the topic of “Carbon footprint reduction across the value chain: strategies for a low-impact future”.

At a time when the food industry is facing the challenge of reducing its environmental impact without compromising efficiency or resilience, the Port Authority will explain how the Port is taking forward specific solutions to support this transition, such as promoting intermodality to reduce emissions and optimise logistics connectivity; the dock electrification project (OPS), which will enable progress towards port operations with a lower environmental impact; and digital tools such as BioRoute, designed to analyse and select more efficient logistics chains, providing objective information on their environmental impact and potential for improvement.
