Greenvale AP - Case study: Reducing water use
"The Federation House Commitment has helped to
illustrate our water consumption year on year and
has highlighted that good housekeeping alone can
generate a significant amount of savings.”
Paul Tyson
Environmental Manager, Greenvale AP
What have we done?
Greenvale AP joined the Federation House
Commitment in order to help quantify the amount of
water used by the entire Greenvale organisation.
As a by-product of this, sites where water consumption
has been identified as significant have undertaken
sub-metering on site in order to further quantify areas
of high consumption.
In 2008 Greenvale made significant savings on water
consumption (over 20%) at its largest site in Floods Ferry,
Cambridgeshire, compared to 2007.
This reduction is made even more significant as the site
handled and processed more tonnage of product in
2008. The challenge Greenvale faces now will be the
maintenance of the reduced consumption at a similar
level throughout 2009.
