Uncovering the best ways to cut water and energy use in meat and poultry plants is akin to solving a puzzle. While obvious measures alone can lead to big paybacks, it takes patience and creativity for operators to uncover all possible sources of waste and the best strategies for optimal gains.
Water and energy are key expenses for meat and poultry plant operators, but focusing on conservation can enable facilities to cut costs while maintaining performance levels.
By not taking adequate measures to cut water and energy use, which includes recirculating their resources and leveraging the optimal equipment and operating strategies, many plants are unnecessarily bolstering expenses while becoming more vulnerable to shortfalls in available supplies.
Many meat and poultry producers are finding no good deed goes unpunished. While most operators are working to enhance food safety and improve product quality, their methods often entail an exorbitant consumption of energy and water.
Greater consumer demand for sustainable products and corporate transparency are driving meat manufacturers to implement new processes to boost sustainability initiatives.
Wintertime may seem to be an easy time to discuss freezing systems, but the challenges — such as energy management — and solutions to answer those trials are in the works all year long.
The Egg Industry Center has released a landmark study that shows that while U.S. egg production has increased over the past 50 years, the industry has also been able to significantly decrease its environmental footprint.
A beef Checkoff-funded lifecycle assessment (LCA) shows the beef community has made significant progress toward a more sustainable future in just six years.
Any processing equipment in a meat or poultry plant will be measured by its output, but the amount of product it can produce is only a part of the story
Recent investments by Cargill at its Fort Morgan, Colo., beef processing plant have increased the facility’s energy efficiency and reduced the use of electricity, natural gas and associated costs.
