Results in waste prevention

Posted on Oct 14, 2011

Waste prevention is one of the most important goals of NorthSeafood. Throughout the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) process that began in 2009, NorthSeafood created different teams to work on solutions to produce more effective. One of these teams achieved a good result last week.

The WCM project is part of the "Nor Vuren" project from NorthSeafood which is co-funded by the ESF-E subsidy.

The team reduced packaging waste from 10% to 5%, so packaging waste is reduced by half. Team member Teun ten Napel (Technical Department): "In this group the different departments of NorthSeafood work closely together to find solutions to solve problems" A big advantage of this approach is that problems are solved better and faster.

Lubbert Schenk (CEO): "Waste prevention, it has two advantages: it reduces the negative environmental impacts and saving packaging means saving costs." This approach takes NorthSeafood one step closer to her objective: producing a sustainable product.
