In 2023, Cashel Farmhouse Cheesemakers successfully reduced its water consumption from 20.37 m3/tonne of product sold in 2022 to 20.06 m3/tonne of product sold, surpassing their milestone target by 9.5%. This reduction is attributed to the implementation of advanced water recovery techniques, such as reusing rinse water for initial cleaning stages, and enhanced monitoring practices.
