Grain and seed processing solutions company, Cimbria, has unveiled a new eco-friendly product for the food industry.
The company has replaced its PE-HD plastic plates with ones made using bamboo, creating what is thought to be the first conveyor on the market able to reduce the presence of micro plastics in the fish feeding supply chain.
The Cimbria Bamboo Chain Conveyor was developed following a request from agriculture sector suppliers, Felleskjøpet Rogaland Agder (FKRA), for a supply chain free of micro plastics. It offers a range of features ideal for the agriculture industry such as maximum wear resistance, smoother operation and lower noise for a better workplace environment.
FKRA joined the Ethical Trading Initiative in 2013 demonstrating the company’s commitment to improving environmental conditions, in line with ILO standards and United Nations conventions.
Within this commitment, suppliers must work to improve their products to achieve high levels of sustainability and replace plastic components with organic parts, where possible.
