Green Seafood Business Programme
Want to save money and help the environment at the same time?
Through our Green Seafood Business Programme we can help you reduce the operating costs associated with three major environmental inputs: energy, water, and solid waste and packaging.
Energy savings
We can help your company make significant reductions in energy consumption and cost often the starting point for best energy management practice. Past participants in the Programme have demonstrated the ability to save between 10% and 20% in energy costs.
For further information on our training in energy efficiency for seafood processors contact Dr. Carol Rafferty on 01 2144110 or by email to rafferty@bim.ie.
Water conservation
We can help you save on water use. Poor utilisation of water can cost seafood companies thousands of euros each year and the introduction of water metering makes conservation in this area even more crucial. In partnership with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) we will advise you on reducing your organisation’s overall water use. We can assist your business in taking the first steps in water conservation through our on-line interactive tool
