Waste Disposal Suggestions
VMH Eco-consultants would offer many suggestions for waste disposal in an effort to increase the market value of Tyson Foods products and guarantee environmental protection. Tyson Food is in a position to make adjustments as a result of the EPA's availability of appropriate standards on waste disposal practices.
Conversion into Fertilizer
To begin with, the animal waste generated can be converted into fertilizer by a related organization. Due to the formation of ammonia, which kills marine life, disposal on land or in water should be avoided. The wastes should be treated with the proper chemicals to bring the quantities of ammonia, nitrogen, sulfate, and potassium down to the necessary ranges. Till the fertilized fields that animal waste directly should be tilled to reduce the amount of nutrients which are found in the runoff water (Hill et al., 2005).
Analysis of Wastewater
Waste water should be analyzed for chemical levels before being disposed into designated dam sites where the water can be recycled. This will avoid legal cases from various states suing the company for water pollution.
Production of Healthy Foods
Tyson Food is committed to implementation of innovative solutions geared towards production of healthy foods that meet the consumers' standards. The company announced the processing of chicken which is free from antibiotics branded as No Antibiotics Ever (NAE). The new product proved the company's commitment to a food production system that is sustainable and delivers healthier food products.
Maintaining Clean and Hygienic Production Units
With the growing consumer market, Tyson Food is faced with a massive need to produce healthy food for 42 million people. The company should ensure that the food production units are clean and hygienic to a satisfactory level to avoid contamination. The preservatives added to food intended for future consumption ought to be below the allowed levels to reduce the possibility of toxicity while in the market. The efforts will aid the alignment of Tyson Food's goals with those of brand purchasers. The consumers' perspective of the company will change positively once they can clearly identify the efforts into producing healthy food for the American population.
