Tolleson Gatorade Water Use Reduction
PepsiCo has publicly announced aggressive sustainability goals, one of which is to reduce its water use ratio in water-stressed areas.
The Tauber team will work with the Tolleson, AZ Gatorade plant to analyze and quantify water loss across different operating lines, develop new improvement opportunities, and pilot modifications within the plant.
This group will also work to standardize any best practice improvement findings to allow for implementations in other lines and sites across the company.
