INNOVATION
Most takeaway boxes are covered with
a plastic coating or materials that contain per- and polyfl uorinated alkyl substances (PFAs). These are known colloquially as ‘forever chemicals’ – they cannot be digested by bacteria, destroyed by fi re or diluted by water. They can persist in water, soil, and air. They can also fi nd their way into the food chain. Notpla’s coating off ers a biodegradable alternative while retaining the same grease and water-resistant qualities of traditional coatings used in takeaway food packaging.
LightFry The revolutionary concept for deep-frying Developed by an innovative company in Sweden, LightFry comprises a range of fryers that can help foodservice operators save money and reduce energy consumption by cutting oil out of the frying process.
Oil is a risky substance when used in frying. It is hot, fl ammable and potentially dangerous. Yet it is essential for the creation of both staple meals and some high-end dishes. What would fries be without a deep-fryer full of oil? The answer is, exactly the same, if they are prepared in an air fryer. LightFry has introduced a revolutionary new concept for deep- frying with hot air in an oven that fries in a 100% oil-free process. The goal is to eliminate the high cost of traditional frying, contribute to a better working environment in the kitchen, and reduce safety risks, as well as reducing the impact of frying on the environment. For operators, there is an obvious
cost advantage to air-frying. First, the cost of buying oil is eliminated. Second, the company promises energy savings of up to 50%. Its performance monitoring

LightFry offers energy savings and reduces the amount of oil needed
process has identifi ed that cooking constantly for one hour, a LightFry unit consumes 9.5kW of energy, while its standby energy consumption is 1kW/ hour – signifi cantly lower than a deep-fat fryer. In terms of sustainability,
LightFry not only off ers energy
savings, but by reducing the reliance on oil – particularly palm oil – it is helping to limit the amount of deforested land used to produce the oil.
Along the supply chain, it also helps to reduce the environmental impact of transporting the oil. At the back end, there is no need to remove and dispose of waste oil. As the company states: “If we can help
to signifi cantly reduce energy consumption and optimize the use of natural resources such as the extraction of plant-based oil and reduce deforestation for oil production – we can make a signifi cant contribution to a better world.”
