(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KESKO FOOD LTD PRESS RELEASE 23.08.2010 AT 10.00 1(1)
Kesko Food's logistics will further improve their waste recovery solutions. The
future target is to direct nearly all waste generated either to recycling or
fuel production. The current waste recovery rate is 86 percent.
"Kesko Food wants to increase the efficiency of their waste management solutions
and reduce environmental impact. Our objective is to find cost-effective and
future-oriented waste management solutions that meet recycling targets and
needs. A new major change in waste management is that both landfill and organic
waste will be directed to energy and fuel production," says Timo Jäske, Kesko
Food's Environmental Manager.
Keslog has had a certified ISO 14001 environmental system since 2001. As a proof
of the efficiency of the system, the amount of mixed waste has decreased
significantly: when in 1997 the amount of mixed waste generated was 2,000 tons,
last year the corresponding amount was 900 tons.
In 2009, the total amount of waste from Kesko Food's warehouses exceeded 6,500
tons, consisting mainly of corrugated board (3,800 tons), plastic (320 tons),
metal (220 tons) and timber (260 tons).
