Smithfield Foods Business Memorandum By: Filmon Sexton and Robert Wiseman
What is Smithfield Foods? • Global Food Corporation • Criticized for it’s environmental impact • Uses lagoons to treat waste
Three waste management solutions • Creation of a wetland • Phosphorous recovery • Using the waste to generate electricity • http://www.epa.gov/agstar/projects/index.html http://www.cavanaughsolutions.com/engine/engine_onslow_cwwf.html
A dual approach is most advantageous • Smithfield should use an approach that utilizes power generation followed by phosphorous removal. • This will reduce Smithfield’s environmental impact, improve their public image, and also be financially advantageous to the corporation.
