Reducing Food Waste
UsageAt Birds Eye, we process crops that fresh markets will not accept due to minor cosmetic defects that render them unsuitable. We source around 2500T of carrots and 2000T of onions per year, which would normally go to stock feed. This process contributes to a reduction in food waste.
Reducing Production Waste & GreenHouse Gas Emissions
ProductionBirds Eye is committed to reducing waste and aiming for zero waste to landfill. Across all our manufacturing sites, less than 1% of the waste produced is sent to landfill, with 99% reused, repurposed, recycled or recovered.
Climate-friendly agricultural farming
ProductionOur Agricultural Services team work closely with our Australian farmers providing crop advice and looking for innovative ways to help maximise crop yields and enhance the sustainability of our growers’ operations. Tasmania's location and surrounding waters provide moderate temperatures, good rainfall and fertile soil, as well as warm days and cool nights, allowing us to produce high-quality vegetables year-round.
