Food and beverage manufacturers continue sustainability efforts by minimizing byproducts, composting waste, recycling processing and packaging materials, and conserving energy and water.
Manufacturers looking to improve their sustainability are wise to remember the three R’s of waste management: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Obviously, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill is not only good for our planet, generating less waste means less money spent on energy, ingredients, packaging and waste removal services. Plus, reusing water saves on a dwindling resource. And, composting waste and recycling processing and packaging materials can be a money saver/generator.
