Operational Excellence

Based on 2010 fieldwork, we will further investigate and map specific areas of improvement, so to validate assumptions made and develop plans for a five-year plan.

At present we aim to:

• Reduce our energy use per unit produced by 20% in five years and enhance the use of energy from sustainable resources by 20-30%.
• Improve our efficiency by reducing our total losses on (raw) material resources by at least 20%.
• Strive to reduce weight of packaging materials used by 20%, and when changing packacging, only convert to recycled and/or sustainable materials (like PLA).
• Reduce total clean water usage (surface and groundwater) by 20%.

Our energy efficiency improvement for the period 2005-2020 is planned to be in accordance with the Multi Year Agreements on Energy efficiency (European policies). To improve the energy balance of our facilities, we will strive to take measures according to the BATNEEC principle (Best Available Techniques Not Entailing Excessive Cost).
