Alternative Proteins
Sustainable Solutions for the Food Industry
A Fad, a Conviction, or the Solution?
The unabated demand for meat substitutes as protein sources has revolutionized the market for alternative proteins.

What some consumers initially perceived as a passing fad in the food industry is being embraced by others with strong conviction and great interest.
Opting out of eating animal meat isn’t just a personal decision—it is also an important step toward a more sustainable diet for the world’s growing population. This development aims to provide healthy protein sources that are both kind to the planet and ethically sound. As a result, plant-based products are gaining importance, just like innovative fermentation processes that enable new flavors and textures. Another trailblazing issue is cultured meat, grown in labs and a promising alternative to conventional meat.
In addition to soy protein, pea, rice, and lupin proteins are increasingly used as inspired alternatives in the production of plant-based substitutes. At Forbo Movement Systems, we are responding to these new demands by developing forward-thinking solutions for the food industry. Thanks to our extensive experience and innovative technologies, we enable producers of alternative proteins to optimize their processes—today and in the future.
Each step in the process—from manufacturing to processing and packaging—entails specific requirements that must be considered when selecting the right conveyor and processing belts. Our conveyor and processing belts are designed to meet the highest standards in hygiene, efficiency, and quality. Specifically developed for the requirements of meat substitute and protein production, our food conveyor belts help manufacturers optimize their processes sustainably while meeting the growing demands for food safety and efficiency.
