Our approach
We focus on three key areas:
- Reducing our use of water.
- Recycling the water we use.
- Replenishing the water we use, where appropriate.
We use large volumes of water - in Great Britain this amounted
to approximately 3.6 billion litres from a combination of municipal
and groundwater during 2008. That accounts for all water used in
the production of beverages - including for washing, rinsing,
heating and cooling.
This translates to 1.47 litres of water per litre of drink produced in Great Britain, which is actually one of the lowest water use ratios in the entire global Coca-Cola system.
