Production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages is one of the most significant segments of the food industry. However, along with its growth, there is also a big problem — management of waste generated in the production process. These wastes include not only the remains of raw materials, but also large volumes of waste water, as well as packaging materials. The main difficulty is the correct organization of waste collection, sorting, crushing and processing operations in order to minimize their negative impact on the environment and human health.

According to research, every stage of production, from fermentation to packaging, is accompanied by the formation of different types of waste. For example, in the production of alcohol, a large amount of waste is generated in the distillation process, which uses a large amount of water and energy. In the non-alcoholic sector, significant volumes of waste are generated during the production of syrups and concentrates.

An important aspect is that a significant part of this waste can be dangerous for the environment. For example, alcohol production waste contains the remains of yeast and other organic substances, which can cause eutrophication if they get into water — the process of excessive enrichment of water bodies with nutrients, which leads to massive reproduction of algae and a decrease in oxygen levels.

In addition, packaging materials such as plastic bottles can remain in the environment for decades, harming flora and fauna. The transportation of waste from the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (except coffee, tea and cocoa) is another problem, as improper transportation can lead to additional pollution. Waste management, collection and processing services: Waste from the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (except coffee, tea and cocoa) NPV code 02 07.

Waste from the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (except coffee, tea and cocoa). Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 02 07. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R7.

Reducing the negative impact of waste from the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages on the environment and human health is possible thanks to the implementation of more effective methods of environmental management. This involves the introduction of modern technologies and processes that allow to minimize the amount of generated waste and ensure their safe processing.

• application of waste water treatment technologies that allow reducing emissions of organic substances and chemicals into reservoirs;
• use of more environmentally friendly packaging materials that decompose faster in nature or can be recycled (R7);
• implementation of a waste sorting and processing system at the place of their generation, which allows to reduce the costs of waste transportation and storage;
• training workers in safe methods of handling and transporting waste to reduce risks to their health;
• development and implementation of environmental programs that involve reducing the amount of waste at all stages of production, from raw materials to the final product.

Environmental management of waste from the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (except coffee, tea and cocoa) is an important step on the way to preserving natural resources and ensuring the health of the population. It also promotes the reputation of companies that adhere to high standards of environmental responsibility.
