Sustainable Water Utilisation in African Breweries - Current Practices and Prospects: A Sector Study and Framework Analysis of Water Consumption in African Breweries with Focus on the Situation in Ethiopia, Ghana, Morocco and Uganda.

This study is intended to bring to greater prominence the situation of the African brewing industry with respect to water use. The cleaner production approach is known to dramatically reduce resource consumption while at the same time increase process efficiency. Improved efficiency also has positive financial implications as it means less money wasted on valuable resources released to the environment. These simple and seemingly obvious facts raise the key question of why this is not occurring automatically in the industry without the stimulus of outside intervention.
