FrieslandCampina, one of the world's top dairy companies, has become a standout example of sustainable water reuse and caustic recovery. By collaborating with Veolia, the company has deployed an innovative solution that not only saves water, but also retrieves valuable resources. This article underlines FrieslandCampina's accomplishments and the considerable impact of its sustainable water management practices. ### The challenge FrieslandCampina was faced with the challenge of managing the significant water footprint associated with its dairy production processes. As a responsible company committed to sustainable development, it was looking for a solution that would reduce water consumption, minimise waste production and recover by-products. ### Veolia's solution Working alongside Veolia, FrieslandCampina established a comprehensive water reuse and product recovery system. The solution involved the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies, including membrane filtration, evaporators and crystallisers, customized to meet the unique requirements of the dairy industry. ![IMG-blog-1](https://blog.kruger.dk/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20STI/IMG-blog-1.png?width=842&height=351&name=IMG-blog-1.png) ### Water reuse and resource recovery | ![Friesland OI](https://blog.kruger.dk/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20STI/Friesland%20OI.jpg?width=321&height=214&name=Friesland%20OI.jpg) | Veolia's solution has enabled FrieslandCampina to treat and reuse wastewater generated by dairy production. Advanced membrane filtration systems were used to obtain high-quality water that could be reused in various processes. The treated water was used for cleaning, equipment sterilisation and irrigation, reducing the need for fresh water and the impact on the environment. | | --- | --- | ### Energy-efficient evaporation Evaporators and crystallisers have been put in place to concentrate wastewater and reclaim useful by-products. These energy-efficient systems utilize the principles of evaporation and condensation to separate water from dissolved solids, retrieving high-quality products such as lactose, proteins and salts. By converting wastewater into a valuable resource, FrieslandCampina has not only cut waste disposal costs, but also generated new revenue streams. ### Environmental benefits The sustainable water reuse and product recovery solution implemented by FrieslandCampina and Veolia has resulted in significant environmental benefits. Reduced freshwater abstraction and wastewater discharges have eased pressure on local water sources. In addition, the recovery of valuable by-products has reduced the company's environmental footprint and promoted the principles of the circular economy. ⬇️ See the interview with Pieter-Jan BOGAERT, Environmental Manager at Friesland Campina ⬇️ *FrieslandCampina's partnership with Veolia to implement a sustainable solution for water reuse and product recovery demonstrates its commitment to environmental protection and responsible resource management. By prioritising water conservation, wastewater treatment and resource recovery, FrieslandCampina has not only achieved operational efficiencies, but has also contributed to a more sustainable and circular economy. This success is a source of inspiration for other industries looking to implement innovative water management practices and demonstrates the significant positive impact that can be achieved through sustainable water reuse and product recovery.* ### **[Talk to one of our experts](https://www.kruger.dk/contact-us) to find out how you can reuse and recycle water on your site** ## Tags - [Food and beverage](https://blog.kruger.dk/?tid=393341793503) - [Industrial](https://blog.kruger.dk/?tid=282535459027) - [Sustainability](https://blog.kruger.dk/?tid=265381461206) - [Water reuse and ZLD](https://blog.kruger.dk/?tid=393341793469) ## Related articles ![Subscribe](https://blog.kruger.dk/hubfs/vwt-uk/subscribe.jpg) ## Sign up to blog notifications Receive the latest blog updates. {|error|} By checking this box, you agree to **Veolia Water Technologies's** [Privacy Policy](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/privacy-policy-veolia-water-technologies) and you agree to receive information on our products and services.
