“
Like all dairy co-operatives in Ireland and around the world, two of our biggest challenges are reducing costs and reducing carbon emissions
Tom Marren, CEO of Astatine
“Agriculture accounts for a significant portion of Ireland’s carbon emissions and the low-hanging fruit are the large, centralised processing plants like the Arrabawn facility here in Nenagh.”
