ENVIRONMENTAL
We are a family run business based in Cheshire, supplying and manufacturing a range of pasteurised egg products from our BRC AA+ approved factory. Quality and customer service are core values in the day-to-day activities carried out at D.Wise Ltd.
Water treatment
Our mature reed beds are an effective natural filtration system designed to treat and improve water quality before it is released into the environment. This system leverages the unique ability of reeds to transport oxygen down to the root zone, creating an oxygen-rich environment in the soil that promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms. These microorganisms actively break down and digest contaminants present in the wastewater, resulting in cleaner water output that is safer for discharge into natural ecosystems.
Working alongside this is our effluent plant which treats the waste water and removes contaminants. The plant also manages sludge produced during treatment. This process allows us to meet regulatory standards, protect natural water bodies, and ensure safe, sustainable water management for our industrial operations.
Solar panels
Since installing our first solar panels in 2012, our commitment to renewable energy has grown significantly. We now have a solar array capable of generating over 315 kWp, providing substantial additional power to meet the needs of our entire site. This solar capacity reduces our reliance on conventional energy sources, lowering operational costs and decreasing our carbon footprint.
By harnessing the power of the sun, we’re making strides toward sustainability and contributing to a cleaner environment. Our investment in solar energy underscores our dedication to innovative, eco-friendly practices that benefit both our business and the broader community.
Voltage Power Optimisation
In line with our commitment to energy conservation and reducing environmental impact, we installed a Power Perfector unit. This unit optimises voltage levels, reducing the strain on our electrical equipment and allowing it to operate more reliably and with an extended lifespan.
By maintaining optimal voltage, the system increases overall efficiency and achieves significant energy savings, supporting both sustainability and cost-effectiveness in our operations.
Recycling
We recycle over 98% of all packaging, partnering with local recycling companies to maximise efficiency. Our baling machine compacts plastic waste, while egg trays are sent for composting, and cardboard is sorted and collected for recycling.
These efforts significantly reduce our landfill waste, ensuring a more sustainable operation.
Egg Shell
Eggshells provide numerous benefits in farming, serving as a natural, cost-effective soil amendment. Rich in calcium carbonate, they enhance soil structure, neutralise acidity, and supply essential calcium for plant growth, supporting robust root development and healthy fruit formation.
By repurposing eggshells, farmers reduce waste, lessen dependence on commercial fertilisers, and promote sustainable farming practices.
Transport
Recent investments in our transport equipment have yielded a modern, reliable fleet equipped with GPS tracking units and vehicle temperature loggers.
These advancements provide verifiable proof of in-transit temperature, while GPS tracking has significantly reduced fuel consumption by optimising routes and minimising unnecessary mileage.
This not only decreases our carbon footprint but also enhances delivery visibility, allowing for proactive problem-solving and improved overall logistics management.
