Bread 41 Partners with Harp Renewables for Sustainable Waste Management
Bread 41, an artisanal bakery located in Dublin 2, is renowned for its dedication to traditional bread-making techniques and its commitment to quality ingredients. Specialising in sourdough and other traditional bread varieties, the bakery has earned a reputation for excellence. In addition to baking exceptional bread and pastries, Bread 41 is deeply committed to sustainability, taking significant steps to reduce its environmental impact.
A Sustainable Approach to Waste Management
Bread 41’s sustainable approach is evident in its efforts to minimise food waste, reduce carbon emissions, and support the local economy by sourcing fresh, high-quality ingredients from local farmers and suppliers. The bakery has long recognised the importance of reducing its ecological footprint, focusing on environmentally friendly practices like recyclable packaging and minimising plastic usage.
In line with its sustainability goals, Bread 41 has partnered with Harp Renewables to implement a state-of-the-art waste management solution. Together, they’ve integrated the Harp CX2 food waste processor into their operations. This innovative machine converts food waste into a nutrient-rich fertiliser, helping Bread 41 reduce food waste and its impact on landfills.
Benefits for Bread 41
By integrating the Harp CX2, Bread 41 efficiently converts food waste, like excess dough and leftover baked goods, into nutrient-rich fertiliser. This reduces landfill waste, supports their “No Planet B” sustainability strategy, and enhances soil health. The CX2 also helps cut waste disposal costs and lowers carbon emissions, aligning with Bread 41’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Supporting the Community and the Planet
Bread 41’s collaboration with Harp Renewables has far-reaching benefits. The fertiliser produced by the Harp CX2 is not only used to enhance the soil at Bread 41’s premises but can also be donated to local community gardens, contributing to a circular economy. By creating a more sustainable approach to food waste, Bread 41 is supporting local biodiversity, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers, and promoting healthier ecosystems.
Bread 41 at Bloom 2024
The partnership between Bread 41 and Harp Renewables continues to grow. The bakery is excited to join Harp Renewables at Bloom 2024 on the Sustainable Living Stage, where they will discuss their innovative waste management practices. Joe Cowley and Gerry McDonnell of Harp Renewables will be joined by Bread 41’s owners, Eoin Cluskey and the team, to explore the topic of “From Food Waste to Fertiliser.”
