Cutting Food Waste

One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to cut food waste attributed to your production. Having clearer labelling and storage advice attached to your products can also be beneficial and help customers to stop throwing food away and sending it to landfill. Some sources suggest that every £1 you invest in reducing your food waste, you save £14 in operation expenditure. When food production companies begin working with their suppliers, they are making steps towards a less wasteful future. 

Energy Efficiency

Your company could also reduce its carbon footprint by using more energy-efficient appliances or by looking for new ways to cut down on environmental harm in distribution. Carbon footprint analysis can help you identify areas where waste is a substantial problem within your production line, enabling you to react and reduce your environmental impact. Looking out for appliances with an A-A+++ efficiency rating, not only will save you money, but due to the energy they save, you’ll also be helping the economy. By updating your vehicle distribution to more eco-friendly engines, again, you will not only save money in the long run on petrol, but will aid the environment; many manufacturers will be happy to accept old diesel vehicles for a trade-in.

Nature’s part in energy sustainability

Utilising nature can have many benefits to production: wind, rain, waves and sunlight all contribute a source of natural energy and have the potential to harness individual manufacturing processes. Using this type of renewable energy can also wield tax breaks and other incentives for the business, so making use of nature’s renewable energy has its perks.

The use of energy panels and windmills also offers potential to store energy, a conservation that may help with future tasks. Looking into this method offers many benefits for production manufacturers and in terms of sustainability, is the future.
