Sometimes seemingly small changes can really add up. Operations teams at our Trouw Nutrition plants in Chilliwack and Sherwood Park in Canadaidentified 2.5 cm of packaging material overuse in each bag they use to package products. This extra bag length used to be cut, disposed of and accounted for as regular waste. By carefully optimising the packing process, the team was able to remove unnecessary bag length, reducing overall waste by 14% and achieving additional cost savings in packaging.
