Introducing Tender Gain

Tender Gain
Cost saving, professional means of procuring sustainable waste management services and green energy

Green Gain has recently helped to develop a comprehensive procurement process for a new waste management contract for KFC UK Ltd. As a result of our support, they are now in the process of appointing a contractor that will provide them with a zero waste to landfill, high-recycling solution; helping make the transition from ‘wastes management’ to ‘resources management’. The work has really helped re-define their waste strategy and will make a big impact on their Corporate and Social Responsibility.

Green Gain has helped UK’s leading manufacturer of high quality deli-fillings, Fresh-pak Chilled Foods, to secure a top Asda sustainability award

Fresh-pak scooped the prestigious award for ‘Internal Engagement’ at the recent Asda Sustain and Save Exchange Summit in Leeds. This award recognises and rewards suppliers who take pride in their environment and who engage employees on sustainability initiatives. As overall winner, amidst tough competition from industry heavyweights, Fresh-pak was presented with its award by Chris Brown, Sustainable Business Director at Asda.

Throughout 2015, Fresh-pak has been supported by Green Gain to undertake a full baseline audit of energy, waste and water, and to work with the site team to help develop and implement an environmental strategy to address these impacts. This has enabled Fresh-pak to reduce its costs, improve its efficiencies, comply with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), and make its primary operations more sustainable. This support has now helped Fresh-pak to gain recognition from one of its key customers.

“We are absolutely delighted to win this award. I know that the Fresh-pak team care passionately about the environment and it’s fantastic to see such enthusiasm and drive rewarded with this customer recognition and prestigious award”, said Keith Foreman, Managing Director, Freshpak.

“As energy, waste and commodity prices continue to rise, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. The work we are doing with Green Gain to address these issues is not only gaining us recognition with our customer; it is helping to secure our long-term future”.

10 top tips for a sustainable Christmas

1. Artificial trees

If you have one already, use it for as many years as possible to make the most of it. If you don’t have one, try Freecycle, Ebay or Gumtree for a pre-loved one.

2. Eco-friendly real trees

To make sure your tree is UK grown, buy from a retailer registered with the British Christmas Tree Growers Association. If you want a tree that is certified organic, check to see that it has been approved by the Soil Association.

3. Grow your own

Buying a potted tree with roots allows you to grow it outside and use it again next year, reducing its environmental impact and costing you less. But be warned - they require some looking after and you'll need a big pot. 

4. Recycling cut trees

Don’t let your tree be part of the 90% that end up in landfill. Many local councils now compost them so find your local Christmas tree recycling point.

5. Tree rental

Christmas tree rental, what a brilliant idea.

Forever Green Christmas Trees deliver around South Essex but are prepared to do deliveries further afield if you call them up (07854 437 224).

The Little Tree Company previously operated across the UK and is now offering a local service in the South Yorkshire area.

Lovely Branches serves Greater London.

Save a tree, send an e-card


Let your imagination run wild. Homemade craft items or food can be a refreshing and creative alternative to high-street or online purchases. Giving your promise to do something nice will probably be seen as special too.

6. Homemade gifts

You can make use of what you already have, with these beautiful origami Christmas models or make your own candles in bespoke containers, like old tea-cups. Websites such as Prima have oodles of Christmas craft ideas, or see some of our favourite craft and gift ideas on Pinterest.

7. Food gifts

Sweets, biscuits and preserves can all make fabulous Christmas presents, especially with some creative packaging. To make the most of your pantry and garden, Alys Fowler’s book Abundance is a wonderful resource. In it you can find recipes for things like jams and pickles, which you can make months before Christmas.

The BBC Goodfood website and Delicious Magazine are both packed with sweet and savoury recipes for gifts. If you're baking with the kids, why not try traditional favourites such as gingerbread men? They're great fun to decorate.

8. Free gifts

Why spend if you don’t have to? Free Christmas Gift Cheques are a lovely way of making your time the thing that counts.

9. Friends of the Earth shop

The Friends of the Earth shop has a fabulous eco-friendly range of cards, calendars and gifts. So you can do all your festive shopping and support Friends of the Earth at the same time. They’ve also got gift vouchers, so you can let your friends or family choose their own present. A turkey on the table doesn’t have to be a seasonal inevitability. 

10. Vegetarian recipes

Why not cut the meat this Christmas, or cook vegetarian for Boxing Day and over the rest of the festive break? According to the Soil Association "food is the single most important, everyday way for people to reduce their own environmental impact".

This doesn’t have to mean endless cheese salads, cheese omelettes and cheese sandwiches. Try the Vegetarian Society or Jamie Oliver for hundreds of fantastic recipes.

Merry Christmas!

Install Solar PV before the December cuts with Yorkshire’s award-winning renewables specialist!



Green Gain, in partnership with Hub Energy, is helping businesses make the most of solar PV opportunities before the Government reduce the current FIT payments. 

 

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is proposing to cut the feed-in tariff rates for solar PV installations by as much as 87% from the 1st January 2016. Ministers are aiming to reduce the feed-in tariff for smaller scale solar installations from 12.47p per kilowatt hour to 1.63p with large standalone units eligible for subsidies of 1.03p per kWh, compared with 4.28p today.



So if you are interested in ‘making hay while the sun shines’ then get in touch with Green Gain at info@greengain.co.uk.
