Food manufacturing sector: Dublin

Freshways, part of the Kerry Group, make a range of chilled sandwiches and wraps. The site employs 200 people employed on shifts six days a week.

The site visit identified a range of recommendations with good associated potential benefits, including:

• Total cost savings in excess of €15,500
• Reduction of 750m³ of water used on site per annum by introduction of spray heads and reduced flow on hand washing
• Reduction of product waste by sale of bread end slices as raw material
• Additional potential savings through improved waste segregation, LDPE recycling and the use of larger containers for purchased mayonnaise
