Key Sustainability Commitments
Spotlight Target Area: Waste
Ashbourne Meat Processing pursued multiple opportunities to improve their waste management practices across their two sites, setting a range of targets within their 2019-2023 Origin Green Plan. In the past year, they reduced the waste per unit produced at one of their facilities by 14.3% compared to 2021, putting them 12.2% ahead of their milestone target.
After carrying out a waste audit in 2022, Ashbourne Meat Processing now have a databased foundation to incorporate into their future initiatives. Additionally, they installed recycling bins across the site to aid in waste segregation. As a result, they reduced their waste intensity and reduced their carbon footprint. Now, the business is on track to achieve its waste reduction target by the end of their plan next year.
