Burton's Foods - Case study: Water efficiency

After pledging its support for the Federation House Commitment in 2008, Burton's Foods conducted a fullscale water investigation across all sites, relative to the tonnes of product baked.

This detailed analysis indicated anomalies at its Moreton baking site on the Wirral. So the company carried out further analysis via detailed sub-metering and identified the areas where water efficiency savings could be made.

A site-specific action plan was put into place and, by the end of 2009, the company expects to have saved more than 73,000 m3 of water at this site alone – equivalent to a 42% reduction in water used per tonne of product baked.
