At Nestlé, we endeavour to preserve the decreasingly available resources of our planet for future generations. For this purpose, we identified actions and targets in our factories in Hungary as well. We constantly strive to further reduce the energy and water consumption of our facilities and minimise the waste production.

In line with the continuous expansion of the Buk Purina plant, the water consumption increased in proportion from 2010. In recent years, we have been continuously striving to reduce the amount of water usage per 1 tonne of product. The current water usage is 1,55 m³/tonne, the bigger part of this amount is the water in product.

In the Buk Purina plant, we reached the following goals in the past few years:

• Optimising the water usage of the biofilter (deodorant) with filters and water blows installation.

Water saving: 1 980 m³ / year

• Water recycling in the sterilization phase of the technology.

Water saving: 27 000 m³ / year

• Restoration of the water treatment equipment, and optimization of the operation. The residual water re-use in the plant, wherever is possible.

Water saving: 23 800 m³ / year

• Optimising the water consumption of the cooling system.

Water saving: 3 600 m³ / year
