The NSW Government Waste Planning and Management Fund is current funding a
project on Waste Reduction in Pasta Manufacture.
The investigation is being performed by members of the CMIS (CSIRO Mathematical
and Information Sciences) in collaboration with Green General Foods at their
Vetta/Nanda plant in Leeton. Under the terms of the funding, the generic results
of the study must be made public after the completion of the project on August
31, 2001.
The NSW Waste Management Board has agreed to fund a One-Day Seminar at the
Australian Cereal Chemistry Conference at which the results of this study will
be presented. In order to attract as wide an audience as possible, the seminar
will examine the manufacture of pasta across the full spectrum from Plant
Breeding to the Cooking pot.
Further information can be found in the attached current program
and synopsis.
The Seminar will be held on Sunday, September 9, 2001, at the Crown Plaza Hotel,
at Coogee Beach, Sydney.
