September 23, 2024 - from the Potato News Today:
"The company’s Kolkata factory devised a way to recapture the steam vapor created when the potato slices enter the fryer. That steam is the water that is in the potato, and PepsiCo redirects first as low-grade waste heat to offset thermal processes, and then, after the steam is condensed into water and cleaned, the company returns it to the plant to offset freshwater uses in other processes,
On a standard potato chip line, it will be about 14 million gallons of water that we will be able to reclaim and reuse to offset from freshwater use. This adds up to about 60 million liters of water per year at a single site, according to PepsiCo."
