Risks
“If risk is a measure of sustainability, the world faces some massive challenges in the 21st century.”
Quoted from Alistair Johnston of KPMG, convener of the WBCSD Risk Champions Group
Historically the biggest risk to the beverage industry has been water
Current and future risks include Pollutants, including oxygen-demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.), released in discharge at a level which, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, will cause interference with the POTW;
Water Footprinting
• Water footprint accounting ;• Blue water• Green water• Grey water
• the grey water footprint is the volume of polluted water, calculated as the volume of water that is required to dilute pollutants to such an extent that the quality of the water remains above agreed water quality standards.
• it is possible to reduce a company’s water footprint through pollution prevention and water reuse
And now comes…………….
Rising Costs of Treating B.O.D. Waste in Beverage Plants
• Municipal Plants face maximum Capacity
• EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP)
• SECTOR U: FOOD AND KINDRED PRODUCTS
• Nations Infrastructure Gap• Full Cost Pricing • Costs of on-site treatment
Sources of B.O.D. Waste
• Start-Up of a Flavor (Sweeten the Filler) • Out of Spec Product during runs• End of Flavor Run (Matching Containers to
Beverage)• Pre-rinse in syrup tank CIP• Product returns to drain (can crusher)• Spills/ breakage at the filler or on the production
line
> 70% of beverage plant BOD comes from sugar based products
Options
Status quo (Reactive)• Continue to pay for on site treatment or POTW
surcharges – risky and not “Sustainable”
End of pipe (Proactive)• Treat at end of pipe (MBR,etc. ) –capital
intensive,• Haul it
Capture at source (Proactive)• Waste haul – expense and not “sustainable”• Concentrate (UF,etc.) – sell • Re-use internally
Four Barriers of Pollution Prevention Implementation
• Regulatory Structure Companies have become accustomed to complying with the mandates of the EPA after a regulation has been set, and generally have not acted to reduce effluents or other pollutants before regulations are in place
• Risks To alleviate this fear of risk, it is important to recognize that Pollution
Prevention measures are often small changes in manufacturing strategies, but small changes that can significantly improve efficiency and reduce waste
• Ruts If the process is working, why change it
• Resources Poor resources -- as a barrier to pollution prevention takes two forms -
lack of knowledge and lack of proper accounting

To determine savings potential, determine $ value for finished product or raw syrup.Example: 456 gallons RS per week, for 50 weeks per year equals total annual syrup loss: 22,800 gallons
Take 22,800 gallons per year x $ per gallon syrup costs for potential annual syrup savings.
Pollution Prevention (P2.ORG)• Promotes the development, implementation,
and evaluation of efforts to avoid, eliminate, or reduce pollution at the source
• Pollution Prevention is a win-win concept -- both for their business and for the environment
• Pollution Prevention is a means of reducing costs, increasing productivity and reducing waste
• For the environment, a lower effluent discharge equates to a "greener" planet
Accountability, Without it, Sustainability is just a good idea.Accountability, Without it, Sustainability is just a good idea.
