Pepsico India

World Water Week serves as a reminder of the impact that access to clean water can have around the globe. Water is not just a resource; it is the essence of this planet and its community. Its availability and quality can shape one's life, determining health, education, and economic development.

This presentation describes the vision and strategy of PepsiCo, Roha, Maharashtra and its initiatives in the area of water conservation. The plant with three filling lines (bottling and canning) has tried to achieve positive water balance through water savings at plant level, water initiatives at community level and by promoting water conservation measures in agriculture.

Work taken up focussed on promoting direct seeding instead of transplantation in the paddy crop. As a result of this, about 30% reduction in water consumption was achieved covering about 1100 acres in 5 states. Farmers could also reduce their production costs by upto Rs.1400/acre.  

 The various efforts taken up include reducing water usage and effluent generation, rainwater harvesting, treating and reusing effluent, reducing chemical usage, reducing ETP sludge, implementing zero discharge and more.
