At Woods our warehouses’ have been designed to maximise efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and ensure optimal storage conditions for our entire product range.
We operate from two modern, fully insulated warehouses that are bespoke-designed for maximum efficiency. Our main warehouse is equipped with solar panels that generate renewable energy, which powers the lighting and heating systems. In addition to our solar energy production, we partner with Engie who provide 100% renewable electricity.
To maintain the correct storage temperature throughout our warehouses, all shutter doors are electronic and sensor-operated. This automation ensures doors are only open when necessary, minimizing temperature fluctuations. Additionally, plastic curtains are in place when shutter doors are open to reduce temperature loss and maintain product quality.
Our chillers and freezers utilize the latest technologies to minimize environmental impact. We use evaporative coolers, which optimize air moisture and temperature, allowing us to cool the warehouse more efficiently. These coolers create a softer air and control humidity, keeping the temperature consistent and our produce fresh.
The office areas within our warehouses feature floor-to-ceiling windows, maximizing the use of natural light. Where artificial lighting is required, we employ energy-efficient bulbs equipped with motion sensors. These sensors ensure lights are automatically turned off when rooms are not in use, significantly reducing our energy consumption.
We have implemented an advanced rainwater harvesting system, allowing us to collect and utilize rainwater for various non-potable purposes. This system reduces our reliance on municipal water supplies, conserves water, and helps manage stormwater runoff, contributing to flood prevention and groundwater recharge.
To handle wastewater generated from activities such as van washing and floor cleaning, we have installed a state-of-the-art 3-way interceptor. This equipment effectively filters out oils, debris, and other contaminants, ensuring that only clean water is released. This process safeguards local water bodies and aligns with our high environmental standards.
Through these comprehensive initiatives, Woods Foodservice is dedicated to fostering a sustainable future, enhancing operational efficiency, and promoting eco-friendly practices throughout our warehouse operations.
