BIER Releases Water Circularity Good Practices Guide
The Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) recognizes that water circularity must be a part of a business’s water strategy, at the basin scale, for those actively managing water risk. As such, BIER has developed the Water Circularity Good Practices Guide. This Guidance addresses the emerging need for an easy-to-follow process that also incorporates important considerations to evaluate when pivoting focus from on-site techniques to off-site circularity endeavors.

The Water Circularity Good Practices Guide seeks to outline the how-to of successful pre-project planning, concrete steps for successful implementation, as well as considerations that should be made after the projects have been implemented to ensure long-term success.

With the recognition that businesses and communities will need circularity initiatives to thrive, the Water Circularity Good Practices Guide presents the BRAID Work Stream, intended to coordinate the complexity of solutions, strategies, and tailored outreach materials necessary to design and deliver impactful and sustainable watershed-level outcomes. The BRAID Work Stream is intended to keep a pulse on engagement and operations simultaneously, allowing an organization to remain nimble and adaptable – ensuring continuous support by building public confidence in circular water reuse strategies.

“This guide seeks to coalesce insights already developed by BIER and other leaders in the fields of water stewardship and circularity with the ever-important and necessary consideration of appropriate stakeholders. We at BIER hope this guide can serve as an approachable and usable document to better prepare you and your organization for the task ahead – socializing water circularity opportunities, particularly those off-site, to reduce our reliance on freshwater resources and improve the health of our watersheds.”

– Daniel Pierce, Executive Director, BIER

The Water Circularity Good Practices Guide further reinforces the Beverage Sector’s leadership on environmental sustainability and commitment to sharing practical knowledge and expertise in support of all sectors.
