Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER): True Cost of Water Toolkit

Developed by a group of leading beverage businesses, this is an easy-to-use excel tool for beverage facilities to estimate direct costs associated with their most water- and resource- intensive processes, beyond just the cost of water from the tap. The costs are estimated for energy use, water use and water treatment. The tool’s new revenue-at-risk assessment helps businesses better estimate the full value of water for their operational processes and identify the at-risk revenue through current and future water scarcity.
