CS823 Bakery improves resource efficiency
This Case Study demonstrates the cost savings and environmental benefits achieved by a food manufacturer through introducing monitoring of factory processes and implementing simple resource efficiency changes. In 2003, following site visits from Envirowise, Ginsters began to monitor its resource use and has introduced measures to improve efficiency. The benefits to Ginsters of its resource efficiency initiatives include a 47% reduction in food waste per tonne of product, a 50% reduction in water used in cleaning operations, a 30% reduction in cardboard waste per tonne of product and a 27% reduction in waste to landfill per tonne of product.
