Cleaning Effectiveness and Process Efficiency of the Bottle Washer
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The recovery and reuse of glass and plastic bottles is one method of reducing waste in the food and beverage industry. However, to ensure that the returned containers are fit for re-use, you must use significant resources such as energy, water, and chemicals in your bottle washing process. Diversey recently found that in 50% of cases, one or more of these inputs were being over-utilized leading to wasted resources and unnecessary costs.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In addition, your returnable bottle fleet is a significant investment which needs to be continually replaced when bottles come to the end of their lifespan. Typical bottle life ranges from 20 - 40 trips depending on a number of factors. Optimizing the bottle washing process can increase bottle life by 25%, helping to reduce your overall glass consumption.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
