Foods producer Cargill has announced its £10 million project to reduce the amount of
waste water lost from one of its plants in Liverpool has been completed.
It put the money into its Bootle vegetable oil facility at Brocklebank Dock to improve its environmental credentials, the Liverpool Daily Post reports.
Since the investment, Cargill has been able to decrease the amount of
waste water transferred from the site.
Head of the firm's refined oil business in the UK Dave Bennett said that the money has been invested in order to act "environmentally responsibly".
He stated: "This financial investment is part of our wider commitment to long-term sustainability and is a reflection of the importance we place on responsible operations within the local community."
In addition to cutting down on the amount of
waste water at the plant, the money has also reduced the firm's energy consumption by 25 per cent and the amount of water it uses by 30 per cent.
Last week, the company announced an investment in enhancing its grain operations facility in Gilman, Illinois, in order to increase its uploading capacity.
