AUGUST 30, 2012Dr. Steve Froggett | Froggett & Associates, LLC | Seattle, WA || Dr. Joe Cotruvo | Cotruvo & Associates, LLC | Washington DC || Dr. Richard Canady |ILSI Research Foundation | Washington, DC
Background
Water is a critical resource and raw material used in the beverage industry.
While many water stewardship initiatives exist, these efforts often stop short of recovering, purifying and reusing all the available water.
Innovative technologies exist that could greatly increase safe water reuse, enhance sustainability and reduce costs.
The Problem
Lack of expert guidance or best practices utilizing available treatment technologies in beverage production & bottling.
Absent formal guidance, the risk of being perceived as using “unclean water” may overwhelm decisions to maximize water sustainability that could be easily achieved.

Expert & Review Panels
Expert panel has addressed best practices for water reuse, including:
Recovery opportunities Technology selection Water quality targets for specific end uses HACCP based management and monitoring.
Guideline has/will undergo independent expert and stakeholder review.
External review process includes: 1) technical experts, and 2) Broader review from the beverage and water sustainability community.
Accomplishments
First full draft of the Guideline completed in April 2012 and reviewed.
~ 200 distinct comments were received from 14 beverage experts in the first review round.
Resulted in revision to content and structure of the guideline.
Included further assessment of water quality for non-potable uses.
Core Expert Committee submitted final revision drafts for assigned sections based on the first round of review.

Publication & Outreach
Depending on funding, a workshop will be held in late 2012 to publicize the guideline and provide a final opportunity for comment by interested parties.
The final Guideline will be published on line and hard copy as a freely available monograph from ILSI-RF.
Guideline will be presented to meetings of professional societies and other appropriate venues to enhance publicity and broad adoption.
