ILSI RESEARCH FOUNDATION: GLOBAL GUIDELINES FOR EFFICIENT WATER USE IN THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY AUGUST 30, 2012 Dr. Steve Froggett | Froggett & Associates, LLC | Seattle, WA || Dr. Joe Cotruvo | Cotruvo & Associates, LLC | Washington DC || Dr. Richard Canady |ILSI Research Foundation | Washington, DC

Background  Water is a critical resource and raw material used in the beverage industry.  While many water stewardship initiatives exist, these efforts often stop short of recovering, purifying and reusing all the available water.  Innovative technologies exist that could greatly increase safe water reuse, enhance sustainability and reduce costs.

The Problem  Lack of expert guidance or best practices utilizing available treatment technologies in beverage production & bottling.  Absent formal guidance, the risk of being perceived as using “unclean water” may overwhelm decisions to maximize water sustainability that could be easily achieved.

Decision Needs  Water quality parameters that are safe for specific applications  Sustainable balance of space, energy, costs & benefits  How to identify recovery opportunities,  Match treatment technologies with end uses  Manage and monitor the system  Suggestions to address perception

Timeline  First Guideline draft by core expert committee: April 5 th 2012  Review by beverage bottling experts: June 5 th  Guideline technical revision: projected as August 20 th  Editorial review: September 10 th  Second Guideline draft: September 14 th  Review by extended expert/stakeholders group: October 29 th  Guideline for dissemination by November 1 st  Guideline publication expected in December 2012

The Approach  The Risk Science Innovation and Application Center (RSIA) of the International Life Sciences Institute – Research Foundation (ILSI-RF) convened a panel of international experts from industry, governments and academia to draft a guideline of best practices.  Expertise covered by the panel includes:  Engineering  Microbiology  Toxicology  Sociology

Contributing Expert Authors  Dr. William Cairns, Trojan/Canada UV Technologies  Dr. Joe Cotruvo (Chair), Joseph Cotruvo & Associates, LLC  Dr. David Cunliffe, Department of Health Australian Government  Dr. Blanca Jiménez Cisneros, National University of Mexico  Mr. Dean Davidson, Davidson and Gardner, LLC  Dr. Ana Maria de Roda Husman, National Institute for Public Health Netherlands  Dr. Andy Eaton, Eurofins Eaton Analytical  Mr. John Fawell, John Fawell Associates/UK  Ms. Karen Golmer, Diversey Inc.  Mr. David LoPiccolo, Siemens Water Technologies  Mr. Michael McDonald, GE Water  Dr. Ong Choon Nam, National University Health System Singapore

Expert & Review Panels  Expert panel has addressed best practices for water reuse, including:  Recovery opportunities  Technology selection  Water quality targets for specific end uses  HACCP based management and monitoring.  Guideline has/will undergo independent expert and stakeholder review.  External review process includes: 1) technical experts, and 2) Broader review from the beverage and water sustainability community.

Accomplishments  First full draft of the Guideline completed in April 2012 and reviewed.  ~ 200 distinct comments were received from 14 beverage experts in the first review round.  Resulted in revision to content and structure of the guideline.  Included further assessment of water quality for non-potable uses.  Core Expert Committee submitted final revision drafts for assigned sections based on the first round of review.

Expert Review Panel  Dr. Jamie Bartram, Water Institute of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill  Mr. Tod Christenson, Antea Group / BIER  Dr. Liese Dallbauman, Water Stewardship at PepsiCo  Mr. Charlie Foxall, Carlton United Brewers - Yatala Brewery  Dr. Robert Goeltz, American Water  Mr. Arun Joshi, Apex Consultants  Ms. Linda MacPherson, CH2M HILL  Mr. Wade Miller, WateReuse Foundation  Mr. Josep Molas Pages, Coca-Cola Company, Iberian Division  Ms. Annick Moreau, Danone Waters

Next Steps  Revised draft will undergo editorial and readability review and returned to core committee for technical corrections by October 29.  A broad water expert/stakeholder group will conduct a second review cycle in late October.  Groups interested in participating in the second review cycle are welcome -  Will include experts in risk communication  The core expert committee will review and finalize the document.  Public release expected December 2012

Publication & Outreach  Depending on funding, a workshop will be held in late 2012 to publicize the guideline and provide a final opportunity for comment by interested parties.  The final Guideline will be published on line and hard copy as a freely available monograph from ILSI-RF.  Guideline will be presented to meetings of professional societies and other appropriate venues to enhance publicity and broad adoption.
