Food waste case study
Company issues
Back in 2017, this customer was having issues with their recycling, general and food waste management, which was impacting their food waste cost savings. They spoke to the team at Agecko to arrange a free waste audit to see where they could save.
This client creates high quality, great tasting food. Their ingredients are from well-known, reliable suppliers. Their products taste as ‘close to home’ as possible.
The system in place for recyclable material was not providing the best possible returns due to reoccurring low weights.
The container used for general waste was identified to be frequently producing too much spillage. This meant increases to time, high charges and health and safety implications.
Agecko Solution
- Agecko’s new system for this client’s recyclables increased their weights, resulting in nearly £13,300 in rebate from August 2017.
- A new system was put in place that eradicated the spillage issue and reduced vehicle movement by 50%.
- This customer has saved in excess of £70,000 thanks to effective food waste management, achieving significant food waste cost savings while improving efficiency. Working with us, they’ve seen a annual waste bill reduction, and improvements to health and safety and time management.
- This partnership led to a significant reduction in their annual waste bill. Plus, they can now proudly announce that they are an official ‘zero waste to landfill site‘.
“Professional company, very reliable and they will assist and advise you the way forward. I would recommend to anyone.”
