Minimising waste conference notes from CCFRA
Minimising waste – conference notes from CCFRA
Notes from a recent conference on the theme "Waste minimisation: effective management of waste in food processing" are now available from CCFRA. By discussing developments with and approaches to waste minimisation, they will help companies save money by making better use of materials, resources and energy. The notes contain a short summary of each presentation and/or copies of the visual aids used on the day. They start with overviews of the impact of the UK food industry on the environment, the broad principles of waste minimisation and environmental legislation, and then highlight practical cost-saving tips on reducing water use and effluent volumes, maximising heat recovery, and minimising losses through food materials and packaging.
Several presentations address established schemes for recycling of organic matter, and include guidance on where to obtain further information.
