(Drinks Media Wire). food and drink in china manufacturers prevented over half a million tonnes of food waste being created in 2006 by sending food by-products for uses such as animal feed, according to the results of a survey published today by the [url=http://en.boabc.com/8008.html]food and drink in china[/url]Federation (FDF) latoya figueroa and Defra (1). Of the waste that did arise at the sites surveyed, 82% was recycled or recovered.$x0]7H R#d j
The survey found that of the 835,000 tonnes of food and packaging waste produced at 236 production sites of FDF members in 2006, 686,000 tonnes were recycled or recovered in some way. Overall, [url=http://www.webtender.com/]www.webtender.com[/url] only 138,000 tonnes was sent directly to landfill.:Cq+@q&` R7l_ m
Phil Woolas MP, Environment Minister, said:B6B.dU+t7C#?1x
“This is very useful information from FDF. It will help the waste industry and local planners to understand where it’s worthwhile to provide facilities like anaerobic digestion, which is the key technology for material such as food waste. I chaired a meeting only this week with around fifty senior industry and NGO executives who have pledged [url=http://www.foodanddrinkeurope.com/]www.foodanddrinkeurope.com[/url] to work with Government on ways to increase the use of anaerobic digestion. Solid facts and figures like these will be a vital way of taking that aim forward.”&l6x Nv%Mn x w
Callton Young, FDF Director of Sustainability and Competitiveness, said:
“The results of this survey demonstrate the level of ongoing commitment by FDF members to making a significant contribution to improving the environment, by targeting areas where they can make the biggest difference. Our members’ initiatives are preventing significant amounts of waste at their sites and it is fantastic that the vast majority of waste that does arise is already treated in an environmentally friendly way. We hope that the survey results will send a message to the waste industry to invest more in anaerobic digestion and composting capacity in line with FDF’s ambition [url=http://en.boabc.com/8008.html]food and drink in china[/url] to send zero food and packaging waste to landfill from 2015.”
Richard Swannell, Director of Retail and Organics Programmes, WRAP, said:
“WRAP welcomes FDF establishing a base line on food waste for its members. The industry is already taking steps to recycle and recover waste. This work also shows the potential for further treatment of food waste using technology such as anaerobic digestion. WRAP will continue to work with FDF members on further waste minimisation activities and on expanding the food waste processing infrastructure through its capital grants scheme.” ~3O:k1c pm0t
v. to embed environmental standards in our transport practices, including our contracts with hauliers as they fall for renewal, to achieve fewer and friendlier food transport miles. And contribute to an absolute [url=http://en.boabc.com/8008.html]food and drink in china[/url] target for the food chain to reduce its environmental and social impacts by 20% by 2012 compared to 2002.
