Sustainability makes Mars’ chocolate even better

Introduction

In the pursuit of sustainability, Mars Incorporated, the chocolate and confectionery manufacturer, embarked on a mission to enhance the quality of their treats by making their production processes more environmentally friendly.

With their largest factory located in Veghel, Netherlands, Mars sought to convert its wastewater into a green energy source while significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Our experts proposed a solution that involved the implementation of Memthane®, an anaerobic digestion wastewater treatment technology that resulted in a 150-ton annual reduction in carbon emissions, more than 10% energy savings, and a 97% reduction in sewer costs.
