abstract

  • Currently there are a concern associated with sustainable consumption by industries, which makes necessary for companies to be more aware and responsible in their production processes, seeking to optimize and reduce their environmental footprint. The food industry is part of the sectors with the greatest impact on the world economy, in turn it plays a fundamental role in what corresponds to the responsible management of its available resources, such as water sources. The company, subject of this study, is a snack company that currently has an interesting potential for optimizing and reducing water consumption in its production process. The alternatives that were analyzed focused on three fronts, the first aimed at reducing current consumption during the production process, the second at reusing the water that is currently being treated and the third at optimizing the water treatment process to increase the percentage of water reuse during the process. The above alternatives will allow the company to reduce its operating costs, as well as to optimize its processes and the use of water during it. These actions will generate a positive impact at the environmental level.
