The integrated approach to design advocated by SHAPE Architecture Practice and Research combines different design disciplines into a single model. This coordinated approach saves time and money by avoiding design conflicts and identifying problems early. Abdulla Alshamsi notes that using Building Information Modeling allows for three-dimensional drawings containing all building information, so that changes to one element automatically update all drawings. The integrated approach ensures a smoother construction process with fewer surprises.

Country of origin labelling (COOL) aims to provide transparency around where foods originate from but its implementation is complex. COOL regulations differ between countries and can be challenging for food businesses to comply with due to globalized supply chains. While COOL does not directly relate to food safety, adhering to its rules helps ensure strong traceability systems. There is ongoing debate around the costs and benefits of COOL for both consumers and businesses.
This document provides tips to help organizations improve their performance on food safety audits by addressing common non-conformances. It identifies the top five non-conformances found in audits as building fabric, housekeeping/hygiene, contamination, HACCP systems, and maintenance/pest control. It then provides specific recommendations in each of these areas to help organizations identify and address potential issues before an audit. The tips include conducting regular inspections of facilities focusing on building integrity, reviewing cleaning procedures and pest control plans, and ensuring HACCP plans and related documentation are up to date. The goal is for organizations to proactively identify and resolve issues in order to minimize non-conformances during audits.
Undeclared allergens continue to be a major challenge in the global food industry due to complex supply chains and changing consumer habits. Allergens can contaminate foods at many stages of production from farms to packaging. Strict management practices are needed to control for allergens, including accurate labeling and segregating allergenic and non-allergenic production areas, but contamination risks remain. Emerging issues like new "free from" product demands and packaging that is not easily distinguishable further complicate allergen management. Vigilant monitoring of all supply chain participants is key to reducing the risk of unexpected allergens in foods.
The document discusses the importance of developing a strong food safety and quality culture within food businesses. It states that a good culture can improve productivity, quality, reduce costs and provide competitive advantages. It identifies several key requirements for establishing a strong culture, including senior management commitment, clear strategies and policies, defined roles, integrated teams, training, measurements, and adapting to changes. The document emphasizes that culture requires constant attention and commitment to develop and maintain.
This document discusses food fraud, which is the intentional adulteration, dilution, substitution, mislabeling, theft or counterfeiting of food for financial gain. It can harm consumers and damage brands. Assessing threats and vulnerabilities is challenging due to a lack of industry knowledge and standardized methodologies. Controls must be implemented to minimize risks, but prioritizing threats can be difficult and detection is not always possible. Ongoing resources are needed to continually monitor for new risks in a complex global supply chain.
How Companies Can Engage Customers by Using Social Plastic in Product Packagi...marcus evans Network
David Katz, founder and CEO of Plastic Bank, believes that companies can engage customers and gain a competitive advantage by using recycled plastic called Social Plastic in product packaging. Plastic Bank creates a global recycling network that empowers communities to exchange plastic waste for goods and services, thereby lifting people out of poverty. Katz states that companies must play a role in environmental cleanup or they will lose business due to shifting consumer demands. Using Social Plastic allows companies to authentically participate in the circular economy and engage stakeholders through transparency into the social impact of the recycled material.
Sustainable Product Packaging in Europe Today - Simo Heljanko & Mårten Karlss...marcus evans Network
The summary discusses sustainable product packaging in Europe. It says that Europe needs to improve its recycling system since China has stopped accepting plastic waste. By 2030 all packaging must contain recycled materials. New recycled plastic and bio-based materials from sugar cane can be used but are currently more expensive. However, their prices should drop with increased competition and consumer demand for sustainable options. Companies may also redesign packages to use less materials to cut costs and plastic usage.
How Kiwi.com Has Transformed the Travel Booking Industry - Oliver Dlouhy News...marcus evans Network
Kiwi.com's proprietary algorithm allows users to combine flights from nearly 700 airlines into single itineraries, resulting in significant savings for customers. The CEO states that the travel industry is shifting from individual airline and hotel sites to meta-search companies like Kiwi.com that offer interlining capabilities. A key to Kiwi.com's success is their "virtual interlining" process that combines flights from various airlines, including budget carriers that normally do not collaborate. Kiwi.com handles over 50 million daily searches and offers frequent price updates and alerts to help customers find the best deals.
