Weekly Tip #31: Work with your suppliers

This is the latest of a series of tips extracted from the forthcoming Green Business Bible e-book:

Work with your suppliers to match specification to your needs - this can reduce waste and energy consumption at both ends. I have given the example before of Walkers' Crisps who found that their potato suppliers were keeping their product hydrated (requiring energy) which was not only unnecessary but required even more energy to fry than if they had simply done nothing.
