An easy guide to minimising food waste in factories
Food waste is a global issue that requires businesses to act to combat the problem. Waste from the supply chain and from the UK’s largest supermarkets is a particularly large issue.
The Department for Environment found that 10.2 million tonnes of food is wasted each year. Approximately 1.8 million tonnes of this waste comes from food manufacturing.
At the 2015 UN General Assembly, countries of the world adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals as part of a Development Agenda. The third target of this agenda calls for the supply chain to reduce its food losses during production by 2030. Following this, the UK Government set out its Food Waste Reduction Roadmap.
Ambrey Baker is looking at what the supply chain can do to help achieve this target…
Factory Optimisation
Ensuring your product has the correct environment throughout its lifecycle as it moves from field to factory, to store is vital. One poor quality metal panel, or an HVAC system that missed its last maintenance check, could be all it takes to allow perishables to wither or spoil. The controlled element of these environments when constructed efficiently, prevents unnecessary food waste. This is significant, considering the environmental impact that food wastage currently has on the planet. In fact, the wasted carbon emissions, and inefficient land use that this causes, makes food waste the third most significant contributor to climate change, after aviation and power generation.
Effective Inventory Management
Manufacturing waste can be dramatically reduced when aided by a Warehouse Management System (WMS). A WMS ensures that raw materials are being rotated and used within their shelf life. As stock arrives, the management system acknowledges the receipt according to a set process. This includes recording information such as use by date, delivery date and the completion of quality checks on arrival.
Quality Control
It’s widely believed that once foods are frozen, they are safe. This is a myth. The freezing of goods does not mean that they will remain viable for as long as they are frozen. Each product will have a set duration of time it can be frozen to ensure quality and most importantly, safety. It is important to adhere to these durations and rotate stock effectively. A proactive approach to managing your goods should be taken, ensuring they are regularly checked for quality.

Hi there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I got what you mean ,saved to fav, very nice internet site.

I want to express appreciation to you just for rescuing me from such a crisis. After looking through the internet and coming across basics which are not powerful, I figured my entire life was gone. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the issues you have fixed all through this website is a crucial case, and ones which could have badly damaged my career if I hadn’t noticed your web blog. Your actual talents and kindness in touching all the details was vital. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a stuff like this. I’m able to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the high quality and sensible help. I won’t think twice to endorse the blog to any person who should get assistance about this area.
