On the path to Net Zero
It has been reported that the UK’s CO2 emissions are now at their lowest levels since the Victorian era, and manufacturing project managers are said to be confident that Net Zero 2050 will succeed. That said, there is still a long way to go, and the food and beverage manufacturing sector faces more challenges than many on the path to Net Zero. It’s another reason to visit FoodManufacturing.Live on 1 May, where topics such as energy efficiency, environmental responsibility and sustainability will be front and centre.
With best regards
