Metson Machines have been designing and manufacturing premium mineral water plants for over 10 years. During this time, we’ve not only focused on producing high-quality water but also on helping businesses operate more sustainably. Today, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact is as important as ensuring water purity, and modern bottling plants are adopting innovative methods to achieve both.
How We Reduce Waste
Sustainable bottling is about more than just recycling bottles. It involves optimizing water use, packaging, energy consumption, and waste management throughout the production process.
| Area of Sustainability | Practices Implemented | Real-World Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Water Efficiency | – Recovery of water during RO & UF processes – Reuse of cleaning/rinsing water |
Many of our clients report up to 30% reduction in water wastage by integrating multi-stage recovery systems. |
| Packaging Optimization | – Lightweight, recyclable PET bottles – Support for returnable glass/refillable systems – Minimization of packaging scraps |
A premium bottled water brand we supply reduced packaging waste by 20 tons annually using optimized bottle molds and reject recovery systems. |
| Energy Efficiency | – Optimized machinery consuming less power per liter – Automated production lines to minimize idle operation – Compatibility with renewable energy sources |
A plant in a coastal city reduced energy costs by 15% through automation and inverter-based pump systems. |
| Waste Management | – Safe disposal of treatment sludge and chemical residues – Recycling of production offcuts and scraps – Integration with local waste-to-energy initiatives |
A plant using our systems now recycles 100% of its production offcuts, sending nothing to landfill. |
Practical Examples of Sustainable Practices
-
Water Reuse: In several of our large-scale plants, water used to rinse bottles is collected, filtered, and returned to the initial stages of purification. This reduces overall water consumption by tens of thousands of liters per month.
-
Lightweight Bottles: By designing production lines compatible with thinner, stronger PET bottles, we help clients reduce plastic usage without compromising durability.
-
Energy-Optimized Machinery: Pumps, motors, and conveyors in our plants are selected and configured for efficiency. Automation ensures that equipment only runs when needed, significantly reducing electricity use.
-
Integrated Recycling: Our plants are equipped to separate and recycle packaging scraps and sludge, making compliance with environmental regulations easier and minimizing landfill contributions.
