Interroll’s new DC Platform is a combination of 24V and 48V solutions that provides outstanding advances in automated conveyor technology and makes it possible to embrace the digital world, namely autonomous conveyors, predictive maintenance and more. The 48V specification is an optimum solution because it allows users to utilise fewer power supplies and more cost-effective wiring, thus reducing installation time and overall system cost.

Food & Drink International 51 51.qxp_Layout 1 19/08/2019 16:30 Page 1With a population of almost 5 million people, Ireland produces enough food to feed almost 30 million people. And part of this story is Ireland’s long history of supplying food to Germany, historically dairy products. Today, Irish produce exported to Germany ranges from butter, cheese, poultry products, beef, seafood, yogurts, chocolate, and confectionary products. In 2018, Ireland exported € 730 million worth of food and drink to Germany with dairy exports being the highest at € 310 million. Launched in 2012, Origin Green is Ireland’s national sustainability programme which enables Irish food and drink suppliers to incorporate sustainability into all areas of the supply chain. It is a key delivery of the Irish Government’s strategy of FoodWise 2025 which foresees Ireland gaining recognition and reward in the international marketplace for the sustainable production and high quality of Irish food exports. Origin Green is the only food and drink sustainability programme in the world operating on a national scale, uniting government, the private sector and food producers through Bord Bia - The Irish Food Board. It is a voluntary programme, independently verified by Mabbett, which enables Ireland’s farmers, food producers and retail and foodservice operators to set and achieve measurable sustainability targets – reducing environmental impact, serving local communities more effectively and protecting the rich natural resources that Ireland enjoys. Under Origin Green, food and drink producers make commitments under three key areas: raw material sourcing, manufacturing processes and social sustainability. As the programme has evolved, health & nutrition is now also a key focus area within the Origin Green Sustainability Charter. Businesses worldwide are beginning to align themselves with the objectives of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Irish food producers under the Origin Green programme align to 15 of the 17 SDG's and offer a key advantage to businesses seeking sustainability improvements along their supply chain. 95% of Ireland’s food and drink exports around the world are produced under the Origin Green programme. In a region where sustainability and food security is of growing importance and focus, Irish food producers are well suited to build long-lasting mutually beneficial business relationships centred on protecting our natural environment for future generations. 52 Food & Drink International www.fdiforum.net ANUGA 2019 Bord Bia www.origingreen.com Visit us at Anuga: Meat - Hall 6.1 Dairy - Hall 10.1 Frozen Food – Hall 4.1 Chilled & Fresh Food – Hall 5.1 Bakery – Hall 2.2 Bord Bia 52-53.qxp_Layout 1 20/08/2019 10:11 Page 1Food & Drink International 53 www.fdiforum.net ANUGA 2019 Gut Springenheide Delicious Egg Treats in Top Form are presented by Gut Springenheide at this year´s ANUGA in Cologne.

Since December 2018, any new combustion plant being installed between 1MW & 50MW (single units or collectively on one site) have had to meet tougher emissions standards. Beware though, if your existing plant is between 1MW & 5MW you will need to comply by 2024. Kevin Agutter, Technical Sales Manager for Compte-R, says: “Why wait, surely it is better for the planet to reduce emissions now and take the opportunity to switch to a renewable energy source for your process heating needs.” Biomass boilers in the UK currently qualify for a 20-year subsidy, from the RHI, which pays out according to how much renewable heat you generate.
