Nestle - IN

This Nestlé plant produces NESQUIK chocolate milk and COFFEE-MATE product lines. The plant’s sustainable features include economizers and restrictions on exhaust emissions for mechanical systems, boiler units, and an HVAC and refrigeration system designed for low-emission operation.

In addition, Nestlé and Stellar used mostly chilled water and very little ammonia as refrigerants to reduce hazardous material; all paint, carpet, sealing and construction materials used in the building are low in volatile organic compounds; 90 percent of the building is made of recycled content; construction waste was recycled; and skylights capture daylight with artificial lighting inside the facility adjusting based on the light coming through the skylights. A wastewater treatment plant on the property takes wastewater from the building, treats it and recycles it as cooling water for the refrigeration systems.
