Audit Success Story
Regional Food Processing Facility
The Challenge
A 200,000 sq ft food processing facility was spending $380,000 annually on waste disposal while facing increasing regulatory pressures and sustainability goals.
Audit Findings
- • 85% of waste was recyclable organic material
- • Poor separation practices increased disposal costs
- • No documentation for regulatory compliance
- • Missed revenue opportunities worth $120K/year
Results After Implementation
