| Reuse of waste water Danone WATERLESS - Ongoing |
With brands such as Danone, Danone & Fruit, Activia, Actimel, Vitalinea, Oikos and Danio, Danone is a major player on the Global dairy market. The Belgian dairy division employs 600 people, of whom about 450 are on Rotselaar's site.
| Danone corporate wants to take on social role in society and has therefore launched several 'Iconic Projects' which fit in their “triple zero strategy”. Zero waste, zero water, zero energy. Danone Rotselaar won this competition with the wastewater re-use project. Named WATERLESS, the project will minimize the water consumption by 2020 to less than 1m³ water used per ton finished product. Waterless will serve as a reference project for the other Danone factories worldwide. |  |
 | The bio-effluent reclamation unit consists of Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis and disinfection unit to produce potable water quality. The reclaimed water flow is maximalized at 70m³/h (75% recovery from the total feed flow). The 70m³/h of potable water quality will be pumped back to the factory where it will be re-used. |
