Raising standards, reducing costs

The UK’s leading manufacturer of high quality deli-fillings for retail and industrial suppliers, Fresh-Pak, starts to benefit from the Green Gain Accelerator.

Having undertaken a full baseline audit of energy, waste and water earlier this year, Green Gain has now developed an environmental strategy that will help the company to reduce costs, improve profit margins and make its primary operations more sustainable.

Following a desk top review, a number of on-site audits and staff-engagement workshops, a series of key recommendations are now being implemented by Green Gain. These will collectively deliver anticipated savings over £300,000 and the diversion of 650 tonnes of waste from landfill in to recycling. All actions will achieve payback in less than 2 years. Activities include:
·       
           -  Implementing a new segregation system for key waste streams and the delivery of an     awareness raising programme;
·         - Sourcing cheaper end markets for egg-shell waste and food waste;
·         - An assessment of power quality and actions to improve this;
·         - An assessment of steam boiler load profile and review of the control strategy; and
·        -  Investment in a flexible pigging system for pipe cleaning of the mayonnaise mixer.
