The Retail Industry Awards recognise and reward excellence across all areas of the grocery retail sector, and Schoeller Allibert’s sponsorship will cover three categories: Multiple Fresh Produce Retailer; Independent Fresh Produce Retailer and Symbol Group Fresh Produce Retailer of The Year.
Simon Knights, Regional Sales Director – UK/Ireland, explains: “With fresh produce vital to the economy and of increasing importance for a healthy lifestyle, retailers in this sector are constantly under pressure to provide high quality, fresh and clean produce. Sponsoring these prestigious awards was an obvious choice for Schoeller Allibert, as we work with fresh produce suppliers and grocery retailers on a daily basis to ensure their products reach the shelves in the best possible condition for consumers, and we look forward to congratulating the winners.”
Schoeller Allibert’s range includes a variety of products aimed especially at the fruit and vegetables and fresh produce sector which offer maximum ventilation, durability and protection - cushioning produce from knocks and bumps - to preserve quality and ensure hygiene from field or food processor to retail point of Offering Stream Carpet cleaning Services.
Simon adds: “When supplying fresh produce, speed is of the essence in preventing decay. Where cardboard or solid wood or plastic crates are used, the lack of air circulation speeds up this deterioration rapidly, whereas with RTP product cooling and ventilation is much improved. Additionally, our containers can withstand high-temperature washing to minimise the risk of contamination and promote hygiene, and the reusable nature of the product delivers considerable environmental benefits over disposable packaging.”
Helen Lyons, the Retail Industry Awards organiser, said: “We are delighted that Schoeller Allibert joined the Retail Industry Awards and will sponsor three fresh produce categories. The company is a fantastic example of how continuous innovation and sustainable packaging can work together brilliantly – both for consumers as well as grocery retailers, ensuring that products offered in shops are fresh and maintain that nutritious goodness we all look for.”
Maxinest, developed specifically to meet demands from growers, food processors, logistics operators and supermarkets, is one of many Schoeller Allibert products which helps retailers to cut costs, reduce packaging waste and deliver greater efficiency in the supply chain. Designed to offer a cost-effective way of delivering fresh produce, the crates also meet the food processing and grocery industry’s strict requirements for quality, durability and care for the environment.
From 2009 through 2012, at least four people died in craft brewery accidents in the United States, compared with two deaths at large breweries that make 10 times more beer, according to a Reuters analysis of federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration data and local media reports.
There were also nearly four times as many safety violations at craft breweries in recent years than at large breweries. And brewery experts say the safety oversight at smaller companies is worse than official statistics might suggest because injuries, even severe ones, often go unreported.
The craft brewing industry has grown from a niche market 20 years ago into a $10.2 billion business in 2012, according to the Boulder, Colorado-based Brewers Association, which represents 1,797 U.S. craft and larger beer makers. The association is not aware of safety issues unique to the craft brewing industry, Chris Swersey, its technical brewing projects coordinator, said in an email to Reuters.
Matt Stinchfield, a brewery safety consultant for insurance companies, said that as the industry scrambles to meet the exploding demand for craft beer, employee safety has sometimes been overlooked. “You have a few eager entrepreneurial spirits, and they don’t come with an industrial safety background,” he said. “There is still some growing up to do.”
Last year, for example, an employee of Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, died when a keg he was cleaning with compressed air exploded and hit him. An OSHA investigation found the air line lacked a device that would keep the pressure in the keg at safe levels. The brewery’s owner, the Craft Brew Alliance, was fined $44,000 for that and a series of other safety violations.
Sebastian Pastore, vice president of operations for the Craft Brew Alliance, said the incident was a “freak accident” involving a plastic keg dropped off by a customer to be refilled.The company subsequently re-examined safety issues at the brewery. It has stopped filling plastic kegs and hired an outside consultant to review safety procedures at its breweries. It now has a dedicated safety consultant for the Portsmouth brewery.
Central vac systems create healthier living and work environments by cutting down on allergen and pollution levels. True, that’s an incredible benefit. True, regular vacuums can become horrifically annoying obstacle courses with their cords and hoses. And yes, they are heavy, backbreaking machines that are difficult enough to lug from room-to-room, on a single floor, not to mention hauling it up and down the stairs of a multi-level home or building… they are pains to store… rearranging closets and rooms to find a place for it… GEESH! It’s tiring even thinking about it and there is no need to continue on. – The central vacuum system not only eliminates all of those problems, but provides several financial benefits, as well.
No matter how you slice it, vacuums are expensive! The least expensive vacuums, while may be appealing in price, also come with numerous negative aspects. Cheap vacuums are just that – CHEAP! They break easily or even die out completely, within a matter of a year or two, if not months, depending upon the level of use. They also tend to have a low performance as far as suction levels go, defeating the purpose of trying to suck up as much as possible. The more expensive vacuums may have better suction, be more durable, and offer better warranties, but it is almost a guarantee that an individual will go through numerous vacuums throughout the course of his/her lifetime. – While installing a central vacuum system may be more costly in the short-term, the systems have less defects and problems than regular vacuums. They are created to endure the test of time and to be extremely durable. Unless truly abused, there is no reason a central vac system should require additional costs. Finally, central vac systems are noted for using less electricity/energy than standard vacuums, thus making it a cost worthy investment by the way of repairs, replacements, and energy.
