This presentation by Paul O’Callaghan CEO of O2 Environmental outlines how Carbery Milk Products turned whey from dairy wastewater into alcohol and a revenue stream. This presentation was made at Water Tech Week February 2011 in San Jose, California, USA and outlines, by way of a case study, how it is possible to save money and actually create revenue streams. This is through sustainable water and energy management and with a little bit of creative out thinking.
