TIME: Thursday, Nov. 3, 1:15 - 2:15pm
ROOM: S102A

Green initiatives remain one of the leading topics within the food and beverage industry. Though much focus came initially with AE&C building projects, the lessons learned in these initiatives have driven companies to challenge their operations and seek out more energy efficient solutions for their operations.

The next wave or next generation of sustainability will involve a more focused challenge of existing facilities and operations; in many cases taking advantage of the lessons learned from the LEED Certified facilities and the products and technologies that have evolved.

This seminar will focus on the achievements in facility, processing and packaging sustainability initiatives that have effectively reduced energy, water usage and waste, discussing technologies and profile programs that have been put in place. In addition, the seminar will cover the approach needed to identify and address energy inefficiencies in existing facilities and provide the steps needed to improve operations.
