In our presentation, we aim to focus on specific areas within various dairy processes where opportunities exist to mitigate and reduce consumption of key resources. We will delve into membrane technologies that can be effectively employed for materials re-use, documentation of water reduction strategies, and even potential marketability of these strategies. Additionally, we will explore sustainable solutions for managing spent or surplus materials that cannot feasibly be recovered or reconditioned by membrane processes, with an eye toward minimizing environmental impact. Our presentation will thoroughly examine the delicate balance between economic considerations and environmental sustainability, both of which are topics of paramount importance to the dairy industry.
