Yes, it works from.... We're doing some right now in a circular food economy demonstration project where there might be half a dozen employees, right up to Campbell's or Molson or Labatt, with thousands of employees. It's the same thing. The percentage is the same but the magnitude is different. Right now we have an offer in. We did the 50 assessments across Canada.
To give you an idea of the scale, if you put a grocery bag beside the CN Tower and another one beside it, you would get to London, Ontario, before you ran out of grocery bags, every year, just with what we found in those 50 factories. Each of those 50 factories would save $230,000 per year on their operating costs with under a one-year payback, which protects every job in those factories from moving to another country.
With Campbell Soup, we implemented some of the stuff, but before we could implement the rest they decided to move their factory to a different country. How much harder would that decision have been if we'd embedded all of that and there was $2.5 million in additional profits on the books when they were making that decision?
What we need to do is embed this efficiency in the factories. The best way to do that is to find that efficiency. Invest in finding that efficiency. That is my advice, whether you're a mom-and-pop or whether you're a multinational.
