Butchers Pet Care's new plant boasts rainwater harvesters, energy-saving lighting, and solar panels. Meanwhile, Diamond Pet Foods' Ripon facility uses LED lighting, expected to pay for itself in less than two years. The company aims to minimize energy consumption and achieve more sustainable operations.
Ainsworth Pet Nutrition has ambitious goals. It plans to reduce water usage in production by 25%, create less than 1% waste, and recycle over 99% of items. The company also aims to make over 99% of waste someone's input. Additionally, Ainsworth seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% per bag of pet food. To achieve this, it plans to implement waste reduction programs, water conservation techniques, and energy-efficient technologies.
Allpax Products offers a waste-heat recovery system for retorts. This system lowers energy costs and reduces water consumption. Butchers Pet Care has also improved energy efficiency by installing a CompAir compressor system to meet air requirements.
These initiatives show a commitment to reducing environmental impact. By minimizing waste, optimizing water usage, and improving energy efficiency, these companies are working towards a more sustainable future in the pet food industry.
