Nestlé S.A., Switzerland, expanded what is said to be the most zero water factory in the world in Mexico, a move that the company plans to replicate in other Nestlé factories globally.
Through new processes that deliver significant efficiencies, Nestlé’s Cero Agua (Zero Water) dairy factory in the central, water-stressed state of Jalisco will move toward being a zero-water factory, using mostly recycled water from its dairy operations. The water resource savings are equivalent to the volume needed per day to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool, or enough water to meet the average daily consumption of 6,400 people in Mexico.
