MILK from cows reared on the green grass of North Wales just got even greener as a leading dairy bagged a top environmental accolade. Pwllheli-based South Caernarfon Creameries has achieved Level Three on the Welsh Green Dragon standard after a year of impressive improvement in its campaign to reduce its carbon footprint. That has seen the award-winning company achieve major reductions in its use of electricity, water and oil as well as cutting waste and ensuring that much of the waste that is produced is turned into energy. Company Secretary Elwyn Jones has headed up SCC’s drive to save the planet by every means possible from buying new, more energy efficient lorries for its milk tanker fleet to reducing the amount of cheese that hits the floor during production and packaging.
