Entitled GG280 Reducing water and waste costs in fruit and vegetable processing, the guide, published by Envirowise, specifically explains how businesses can save money by reducing, re-using and recycling waste.
Key areas are identified in which companies can reduce their operating costs and also make savings by reducing or even eliminating elements of the waste stream. Optimising trimming procedures can reduce waste sent to landfill and cut waste disposal costs while other improvements in areas such as cleaning can cut down on water and effluent treatment costs.
The experiences of businesses show how resource efficiency can reap real benefits for companies in the fruit and vegetable sector.
