Project Description
The
main
source
of
water
consumption within the facility was
toilet facilities and washing of
vehicles. Three rain water harvesters
were installed. This has displaced
3
433m of water per annum.
Energy Management
Waste savings
24 tonnes of waste diverted away
from landfill annually.
New products developed from
unused dough.
Water minimisation
3
Reduction of 433m of water per
annum.
Increased staff awareness and
involvement in on-going environmental
improvements within the day to day
operations of the company,
underpinned much of the projects
success.

Logistic optimisation
At the start of the project a lorry was
delivering bread from Midleton to a
depot in Cork city. The green team
reviewed potential saving initiatives
under logistics optimisation. Under
these initiatives the customer now
collects the products from Midleton.
The savings are as follows:
1200 per annum was saved on depot
rental.
31,000 per annum saved on drivers
salary.
One lorry eliminated of the road.
9600 per annum on diesel
13.48 tonnes of CO2 per annum
Lessons Learned
A number of lessons were learned
during the CGPP project.
Incorporating reuse of material into
new product development.
Training staff on environmental
awareness, is very beneficial.
Engagement with all staff on new
saving opportunities.

The
Cleaner
Greener
Production
Programme (CGPP) of the EPA is funded
under the National Development Plan
2007-2013. The CGPP was launched in
2001 as a grant scheme to fund Irish
organisations to implement cleaner
greener
practices
while
achieving
significant cost savings.
Cleaner Greener Production is the
application of integrated preventive
environmental strategies to processes,
products and services to increase overall
efficiency and reduce risks to humans and
the environment.
Production processes: conserving raw
materials and energy, eliminating toxic
raw materials, and reducing the
quantity and toxicity of all emissions
and wastes
Products: reducing negative impacts
along the life cycle of a product, from
raw materials extraction to its ultimate
disposal.
Services: incorporating environmental
concerns into designing and delivering
services.
The programme aims are focussed on
avoiding
and
preventing
adverse
environmental impact rather than treating
or cleaning up afterwards. This approach
brings better economic and environmental
efficiency.
The CGPP is funded by the EPA STRIVE and
NWPP programmes

Waste Optimisation
At the start of the CGPP project all
waste was going to landfill. The skip
was costing an average of 560 per
month to be removed.
Food surplus management techniques
were implemented and surplus bread
and dough were segregated.
