FM Environmental manufacturers the Grease Guardian – the world’s leading grease and oils removal system – and provides FOG management solutions to municipalities and businesses around the world. The conference specifically addressed the global need for greater enforcement of FOG control measures particularly in the catering industry and introduced delegates to new technologies developed by FM Environmental over the last two years.
In his keynote address Export Director Eamon Fitzpatrick explained how Dublin City Council had taken the lead on the international stage by addressing its own FOG issue:
“Dublin grasped the nettle and implemented a FOG Management Strategy that, although not perfect, is an example of strong and decisive action at local authority level. Its activities had a major positive impact on the Dublin sewer network and proved to local authorities worldwide that the FOG problem could indeed be solved.”
The event coincided with the opening of Grease Guardian USA, FM Environmental’s New York office, from where it will now manage its North American operations and support its growing customer base throughout the USA and Canada.
