Making better use of easily available renewable resources would allow the processing sector of a plant to reduce input costs and protect the environment. Listed below are a few tips to help you reduce costs and start living green.
• Solar energy- Solar panels are becoming very popular and are evidence as a successful way to generate renewable power. Electricity is generated when the sun hits photovoltaic panels. This energy is then used in the processing plant or related areas, with excess electricity being stored for hydrolysis and hydrogen use.

• Lighting- lighting from the sun is a free resource that is rarely used in the modern poultry processing plant. The reason for not allowing natural light in is that along with it, heat will enter, raising temperatures inside the plant. But there are steps that can be taken to change and fix this problem.

• Heating water- The horticulture industry is already using large-scale solar powered heaters that can heat water to 70C. This technology could also be used in scalding operations, which generally do not require temps above 60C. Another way to aid in green living, is by using bactericidal gel instead of washing hands with soap and water when possible.

• Reuse of water- It is not uncommon for processing plants to use waste water from processing to wash down unloading and parking areas. The recycling of water can also be used in the plants lavatories.

Use of CitroBio: Some processing plants use hard chemicals to clean poultry or use hard chemicals to clean surfaces that may contaminate products if not careful. With the use of CitroBio formula the environment and products will be safer due to the fact that CitroBio formula is biodegradable.
