CHANGING THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS
Committed to connecting industry and creating opportunity, NISP brings together
companies from all business sectors with the aim of improving cross
industry resource efficiency. What makes NISP different to other resource efficiency
initiatives is that it deals with ALL TYPES OF RESOURCE - materials,
energy, water AND supports the sharing of assets, logistics and expertise
WHAT IS THIS EVENT ABOUT?
The food & drink industry is key to the NI economy but faces pressures including
raw material and energy costs; waste treatment and disposal and regulatory
compliance issues.
NISP recognises the need for well developed resource recovery infrastructure
that can both accommodate the waste generated by the sector and help reduce
costs. This workshop will review the scale of the difficulties facing the food sector
and seek to identify the optimal solutions. The MasterClass provides an
opportunity to discuss one to one how Resource Efficiency can work for your
organisation.
