Residual gas from internal electricity generation is recycled to create 40% of the factory’s energy requirement.
Waste Material
Conversion Waste organic material, such as citrus fruit peel, leaves and stalks, is converted into bio fuel for heating, compost and animal feed.
Residue from surplus water is used in a bio reactor to convert into gas and generate electricity.
Bottling

30% of the plant’s energy comes from solar power.
Waste Water Management
Waste water from the factory is processed and used to irrigate the surrounding farmland.
Waste Recycling
98% of other waste materials are sent for commercial recycling.
