WATER AND WASTEWATER CHALLENGES
Water Sustainability:
A Driver of Growth
Water stress is reshaping Thailand’s Food & Beverage (F&B) sector. Highly water-intensive, especially in beverages, dairy, seafood, meat, and processed foods, the industry relies on water for production, cleaning, cooling, and ingredient preparation. Limited access and water quality issues, combined with climate change, floods, and droughts, are putting increasing pressure on operations.
WATER AND WASTEWATER CHALLENGES
Key challenges for F&B
industries in Thailand
- Water scarcity and droughts disrupt raw material supply and production continuity.
- Floods and shifting rainfall patterns create operational risks.
- High water consumption and strict wastewater regulations increase compliance pressure.
- Improper wastewater management can lead to pollution, GHG emissions, and regulatory fines.
- Rising water prices and the need for advanced water treatment systems increase operational costs.
- Regulatory pressure requires investment in sustainable water practices.
WATER AND WASTEWATER DRIVERS
Key regulations shaping
F&B market in Thailand
- Thailand – MOI & IEAT regulations: Stricter wastewater discharge limits, industrial effluent standards, and water usage reporting.
- Environmental Compliance Standards: Globally, stricter wastewater and effluent limits drive adoption of best practices.
- Push toward circular economy models, including water reuse, treatment, and resource recovery.
