Green Credentials on Show
08 December 2011
If you want to find out how food and drink manufacturers are using green practices to reduce waste, cut costs and enhance their environmental credentials, then take part in a visit organised by Sustainable Food & Drink and the Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service on January 18, 2012.
You will visit Matthew Algie, the independent coffee roaster based in Glasgow, which has been involved in the tea and coffee trade since 1854. With a strong ethical focus, in 1997 Matthew Algie was the first UK roaster to roast Fairtrade espresso and in 2004 it launched its ‘triple certified" espresso (Fairtrade, Organic, and Rainforest Alliance).
Matthew Algie is part of the Green Club,an informal group of food and drink manufacturers committed to sharing their experiences about the ‘green' steps they've taken to cut costs, reduce wastage and enhance their environmental credentials.
The Green Club evolved from Sustainable Food & Drink's conversations with manufacturers who expressed an interest in understanding how others drew on the environmental agenda
