Project Overview

For example, in our production facility in Ghent, Belgium, our evaporative cooling towers were replaced by dry cooling towers, an initiative which will save 10,670m_ of water annually. In Sweden, we successfully installed low-consuming rinse nozzles for both our can and non returnable glass bottle (NRGB)-line. This enabled us to save 11,800m_ of water by using the same water to rinse both the inside and outside of cans and bottles. In 2020, in our production facility in Dong…

In 2020, in our production facility in Dongen, the Netherlands, we started reusing the rinse water from our glass bottles for rinsing crates, saving 700m_ of water a year. In our plant in Portugal, through water efficiency improvements in our cleaning and manufacturing processes, we were able to recover and reuse around 30,000m_ of water per year Ð equivalent to the plantÕs consumption for more than a month
