Rain water toilet flushing for office & staff facilities.
Solar heated hot water for staff & office.
High efficiency aircon for offices, staff amenities & climate controlled production areas involving "outside air optimisation" to reduce power consumption.
All hot water required for cake production is preheated by energy recovered from our fridge systems. This equates to a saving of over 600 tonnes of CO2 per year through reduced gas consumption.
Use of the heat recovered from freshly baked products (using exhaust fans and the heat taken from our cooling tunnels) to heat the main production area in winter & to minimise heat-bleed into refrigerated areas. This equates to a saving of over 2700 tonnes of CO2 per year through a 60% reduction in power usage per square metre.
Installation of fully integrated SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) energy monitoring system to allow "real time" monitoring of all energy consumption, both individually & collectively to allow full monitoring of all energy consumption of electricity & gas and the resulting CO2 emissions. This information is displayed on a screen in a high-traffic corridor and brings an amazing level of awareness to our team.
Over 100,000 litres of rainwater tanks plumbed for irrigation and truck washing resulting in approximately 625,000 litres saved per annum.
Introduction of Victoria’s first Diesel Hybrid truck with Sustainability Victoria. We will measure fuel usage and bench mark the results against our fleet to assess the effectiveness of this technology and the likely payback period. Specialised insulation was sourced for the cabin to reduce weight and the associated emissions from carrying such weight.
The latest bulk raw material handling equipment eliminates approx 450 bags/wk from our system & halves our requirements for land fill. Our co-mingled waste has already been reduced by 50%
