Nestlé Australia bolsters sustainability efforts at its Gympie factory with a new $2 million water recycling system, emphasizing environmental efficiency and supporting the local community by easing demand on town water supplies.
This state-of-the-art technology will enable on-site water recycling, eliminating the need for fresh water from the town supply. As a result, the factory's water usage is expected to decrease by approximately 20 percent, saving an impressive 45 million liters annually.
The move comes as Nestle recognizes the importance of sustainability and environmental efficiency. Steve Taljaard, the factory manager, emphasized that water consumption reduction is a top priority, particularly since the coffee-making process requires a significant amount of water.
In line with their commitment to continuous improvement, Taljaard stated that they are dedicated to investing in enhancing the Gympie site, focusing on improving its environmental efficiency.
With the new treatment system, water used in the coffee-making process will be captured, recycled, and utilized in the cooling towers on-site. Previously, the factory relied solely on town supply water sent to the local water treatment plant. Taljaard highlighted the additional benefits of the filtration system, stating, "Our new system not only aids water conservation efforts but also contributes positively to the local community."
By reducing the factory's reliance on local water supplies and lessening the amount of used water requiring treatment by the council, the system helps alleviate pressure on water resources, particularly during drier seasons. This recent water-saving endeavor forms part of the factory's ongoing commitment to environmental performance improvement.
Nestle Gympie has implemented various initiatives to enhance sustainability, such as sourcing 100 percent responsibly sourced coffee beans, utilizing renewable resources to meet over 80 percent of its energy needs, and achieving zero-waste to landfills in the past three years.
Implementing the state-of-the-art treatment and filtration system marks a milestone for Nestle Australia.
