While sustainability programs have become the new normal at most manufacturing facilities, there is always room for improvement and another project to tackle. Attaining zero landfill, optimizing wastewater treatment, harnessing solar and wind power, and implementing new energy reductions remain key objectives for our readers.
To honor exceptional sustainability achievements within food, beverage and consumer products manufacturing operations, Food Engineering and PMMI’s Alliance for Innovation & Operational Excellence are partnering in an annual peer-reviewed awards program. The Sustainability Excellence in Manufacturing Awards will recognize manufacturing plants with improved performance in sustainability and honor companies and individuals that seek to go beyond environmental compliance.
