WhiteWave Foods installed water-saving technologies at their Mt. Crawford, Virginia manufacturing plant completed the first phase of a two-phase wastewater treatment project in which more than 55 percent of the water consumed by the plant’s cooling tower, over 35 million gallons per year, can be reused. The cooling tower phase of the project involved taking wastewater from production facility and filtering it onsite so it is clean enough for second-use applications. The project reduced the plant’s water by 7 million gallons in its first quarter of operations, shrinking its water footprint by 10% and saving more than $350,000 annually. We also work with our suppliers of water-intense products such as almonds to develop water management plans and implement water-saving technologies.
