The Coca-Cola Company has developed a beverage process water recovery system, piloted at facilities in India and Mexico, that can reduce a manufacturing plant’s water use by up to 35 percent. The recovery system reuses water for selected beverage operations, such as clean-in-place and bottle washing, rather than treating and discharging it, the company said…If the system is implemented across all Coca-Cola bottling plants, the company could save as much as 100 billion liters of water annually…The International Water Association recognized Coca Cola for its water recovery system with an Innovation in Small Projects Award at its Asia Pacific Regional Innovation Awards event.
