Environmental Solutions Event 2009

8th October 2009

The Heath Conference Centre, Runcorn

This event will aim to build on previous year’s events, informing delegates about measures, initiatives and opportunities.

There will be a series of case studies from companies who have significantly reduced their waste costs using relatively simple processes, in addition to some explanations of new, innovative technologies and processes.

The event is aimed at process managers, site managers and environmental managers from across the food sector and hopes to demonstrate both simple and innovative ways to deal with food waste and other environmental issues. This event will also be of interest to environmental technologies and services companies who may want to access the food industry markets.
