Food and Drink
The relationship between commercial success and protecting the environment is becoming more firmly entrenched. Indeed the former is increasingly linked to the latter in today’s competitive marketplace.
Green production, a business philosophy focusing on profitability through environmentally-friendly operating processes, is seen by many as a strategically sound approach to 21st century business. Many industry observers agree that a green business strategy based on environmental sustainability will help to secure a competitive edge.
Companies that choose to develop methods of reducing waste can do so in a methodical manner to suit their own schedules. Firms that wait until they are forced to change, however, often suffer the consequences of a sudden and costly rush to meet the necessary requirements.
Green production involves much more than pollution controls and recycling programmes and is not just an issue affecting manufacturing. It seeks to minimise the impact of the manufacturing process on the environment at every stage including distribution. Pollution prevention can only deliver half the solution, green production must also include the firm’s transformer input (the use of raw materials) and output (product disposition) processes. Green consumers are particularly concerned about the scarce resources consumed as a result of production. Therefore green production focuses on three basic goals.
1. minimising emissions, effluent and accidents.
2. decreasing the use of virgin materials and non renewable forms of energy.
3. reducing the lifecycle cost of products or services
