Going green

WHY go green? The two businesses that we spoke to gave reasons as varied as their industries. For the chief executive officer of one of the companies, it was a response to what he saw as needless wastage in the food and beverage industry. He went on to challenge someone - today the chief technology officer at the firm - to develop an enzyme that could convert organic waste into fertiliser in 24 hours. Biomax, which deals in organic waste treatment, was born after five years research & development.
