This document summarizes a presentation on water and wastewater sustainability in the food and beverage industry. It discusses trends toward cradle-to-cradle engineering and treating wastewaters as co-products. Anaerobic digestion is presented as a key technology for energy production and carbon footprint reduction. Case studies of co-product recovery at Slane Distillery are described. The presentation concludes that future technology must be led by sustainability and that wastes should be designed to ultimately recycle in a cradle-to-cradle approach.
