Milcobel bouwt nieuwe waterbehandelingsinstallatie om waterkringloop te sluiten

Persuitnodiging: Zuivelverwerkers recupereren steeds meer water… uit melk

Dat duurzaamheid een ketenverhaal is, bewijst de zuivelsector andermaal. Het efficiënt gebruik en hergebruik van water is daarbij een belangrijke pijler. Zowel de melkveehouders als de verwerkers gebruiken steeds minder grond- en leidingwater en steeds meer alternatieve bronnen, zoals regenwater, oppervlaktewater of gezuiverd afvalwater. Ook recupereren steeds meer melkverwerkers water uit melk.
