BevZero advances global Sustainability across its beverage operations
BevZero, a global leader in beverage services, equipment, expertise, and innovative solutions, is advancing a corporate sustainability strategy across its operations in the United States, Spain, and South Africa. Through facility-specific improvements and sustainability-minded equipment solutions, the company continues to reduce resource use, improve operational efficiency, and help clients bring premium low- and no-alcohol beverages to market more responsibly.
With more than 30 years of experience and teams across the U.S., Spain, and South Africa, BevZero supports wine and spirits producers with dealcoholization services, beverage production support, and equipment distribution. Its global approach to sustainability focuses on practical action, from streamlined logistics and environmental management standards to renewable energy generation, wastewater treatment, and efficient processing technologies.
“Sustainability is not just something nice to have—you really need to have it,” said Silvia Cedeno Daguerre, Managing Director and Enologist at BevZero Spain. “That allows our clients to focus on their business, knowing that their production is handled in a sustainable and efficient way.”
South Africa Facility
BevZero South Africa has implemented several site-specific initiatives at its new Paarl facility to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The facility operates 300 solar panels that contribute to on-site renewable energy generation and reduce dependence on the grid.
The South Africa facility has also installed a dedicated wastewater treatment system that captures, treats, and recycles facility wastewater for irrigation or safe environmental discharge. In addition, a new clean-in-place (CIP) system reduces the water and chemical inputs required per cleaning cycle compared with prior methods.
Operational improvements in South Africa also include workflow redesign and improved space utilization, helping increase throughput per square metre while reducing idle time and the associated energy overhead.
