Framework includes net-zero water, waste and
sustainable operations goals
DALLAS, Sept. 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) has
completed master planning services for Hacienda Patrón tequila
distillery in the state of Jalisco,
Mexico. The comprehensive plan provides Patrón Tequila, a
subsidiary of Bacardi Limited, with a framework for sustainable
facility modernization and operations without critical compromise,
as it seeks to expand manufacturing to meet growing demand while
achieving key sustainability goals.
Partnering with PA Consulting, Jacobs conducted a full-scope
analysis of Patrón's supply chain and current product packaging,
owned and leased operational footprint and downstream solid and
liquid waste processes. The plan proposes innovative methods of
waste reuse that align with Bacardi's commitment to achieving
net-zero waste and reducing carbon emissions. In early findings,
the team identified that reusing agave fiber waste as recyclable
packaging could reduce the need for cardboard and associated carbon
emissions. Wastewater valorization strategies were also recommended
with the goal of reusing wastewater, reducing and repurposing solid
waste and minimizing the land area required for current composting.
These circular economy solutions de-risk Patrón's supply chain and
increase resource recycling, save costs and reduce carbon emissions
associated with transporting resources across country
boundaries.
"Jacobs and Bacardi both share a belief in doing things right –
every project is an opportunity for sustainability and long-term
value," said Jacobs Advanced Facilities Senior Vice President
Koti Vadlamudi. "Bacardi has trusted
us to develop an innovative master plan to help them meet net-zero
waste and carbon reduction goals. This is yet another project where
we demonstrate our commitment to challenging today to reinvent
tomorrow."
Jacobs and PA Consulting also found opportunities to use digital
solutions such as a predictive climate action mitigation strategy,
customized geographic information system (GIS) dashboards, and
Power BI data in the plan's development.
Since 2009, Jacobs has provided comprehensive water, civil and
resource services for various manufacturing, packaging and
distillation facilities for Bacardi Limited subsidiaries.
"Patrón Tequila faces great demand for infrastructure and
operations to achieve our goal to quadruple production by Fiscal
Year 2030," said Patrón Spirits Mexico S.A de C.V. Projects
Director OC Tequila, Julio César Barajas
Martinez, "Jacobs is a valued ally to comprehensively
strengthen and structure our master plan with our 2030 vision."
