Reducing our impact on the environment

At Coca-Cola Enterprises, one of our key sustainability priorities is to minimise the water use of ouroperations. The amount of water used for every litre of final product produced is known as the 'wateruse ratio'.

When CCE took over the operation of Morpeth in 2008, the water use ratio was approximately 2.0: two litres of water used for every one litre of product produced. By 2010 we had reduced this ratio to 1.72 and we set the ambitious target of reducing the ratio even further to 1.35 by the end of 2011. Today, we are already ahead of this goal, meaning that when our lines are operational we are saving 147,500 litres of water every week.We are now targeting a future water use ratio of below 1.2.Some of the ways we have reduced our water usage is by optimising cleaning procedures and the cycle timeand pressure of the PET rinsers.
