"As producers of shea butter, we generate a lot of waste such as shea kernels. The resource efficiency coaching helped us to understand how to turn this waste into alternative fuel to use in our internal operations. The coaching also made us conscious of our electricity and water consumption. Now we know how to measure consumption of electricity and how to reuse water in operations. These measures definitely help us reduce our production costs"
