People often make the mistake of equating sustainability with buying expensive equipment, thus leaving it largely out of reach for small- and mid-sized breweries. This is simply not the case. Although it would be ideal if every brewery was able to purchase a CO₂ recovery system or wastewater treatment system, the reality is that a lot can happen before getting to that place. There are many simple ways to save resources, regardless of brewery size, leading to a more profitable and environmentally friendly operation.

In this seminar, you will learn a new way to think about how resource optimization impacts the bottom line and simple ways to get the most out of available resources. These include ways to save time, water, chemicals, electricity, natural gas, propane, and CO₂, and improve wastewater management. You’ll walk away with several action items you can implement with minimal effort.
