Japan’s Next Meats to construct eco-friendly factory for alt-protein products
Next Meats Co, an alternative meat venture company from Tokyo, is set to open an eco-friendly production facility next summer. Dubbed the Next Factory, it will be built in Niigata, Japan, promising to be a “one-stop hub” dedicated to alternative protein products and will include everything from an R&D lab to the production line.
The founders are aiming to stabilize the global supply chain of Next Meats products while lowering retail costs and strengthening the company’s R&D capacities.
This kind of large-scale facility specifically dedicated to developing alternative proteins is likely to be the first of its kind in Japan, says the founders Hideyuki Sasaki and Ryo Shirai. They also revealed that the Next Factory will incorporate solar panels and other sustainable technologies.
