In 2024, Complex Nutrition made strong progress in reducing food waste intensity, decreasing from 0.0127 t/t in 2023 to 0.0074 t/t, exceeding its milestone target by 40%. This achievement reflects the company’s ongoing focus on operational efficiency and waste prevention across its production processes.

A key contributor to this success was the completion of an initiative to replace the seal on the company’s blender, which helped reduce product loss during processing. To maintain this progress, Complex Nutrition has committed to regular maintenance of critical equipment, ensuring continued performance and minimising avoidable waste.

In addition to technical improvements, the company has taken steps to align with national best practices by signing up to the Food Waste Charter. This move reinforces its commitment to transparency and continuous improvement in waste management.
