FEA expands FCP sustainability course with launch of warewashing module
FEA Foodservice Carbon Professional Warewashing module going live
Latest training scheme delivers inside track on sustainable warewashing
The Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA) is launching its latest Foodservice Carbon Professional (FCP) module, Warewashing on Monday 16th September. Focusing on catering equipment, FCP is designed to help foodservice professionals get a full understanding of carbon net zero, sustainability and energy efficiency, so they can use the knowledge to help meet green targets. FCP is made up of a Core Module that looks at the broad picture, plus additional sector-specific modules covering dedicated areas.
The FCP course is aimed at anyone working in the foodservice industry, including foodservice operators, dealers, manufacturers, designers, consultants, and suppliers.
As well as giving delegates the knowledge to make sustainable and energy efficient choices around warewashing equipment, the new module covers best practice and look at areas such as service, maintenance, and chemicals. It delves into the importance of mechanical components in maintaining sustainability, and looks at how the design, installation and operation of equipment can keep emissions to a minimum and reduce energy, water and chemical consumption.
Delegates will learn about areas such as regulations and legislation, energy measurement for warewashing, and the energy technology list (ETL). They’ll consider the impact of the lifetime emissions and embodied carbon of warewashing equipment, the environmental issues around cleaning chemicals, and the lifecycle cost and disposal of equipment. There is also a section covering the latest innovations and developments in warewashing technology.
The course includes cases studies to illustrate the equipment lifecycle, with practical insights showing how theoretical concepts apply in the real world.
“Warewashing is a significant consumer not only of energy but also water and chemicals,” says Adam Lawrence, marketing manager of FEA. “As such it’s a key component in the development of a sustainable foodservice industry. We expect this module to attract a lot of interest.” Anyone wishing to delve deeper into the course material can join the live launch webinar, hosted by Dr Sam Mudie, on 16th September.
