PepsiCo Brazil partnered with coconut suppliers in São Mateus, Brazil to send processed effluent from the wastewater treatment plant connected to a PepsiCo coconut supplier, to a neighboring farm to be used for irrigation and as fertilizer. The treated wastewater contains large amounts of nutrients, especially potassium, which is beneficial in coconut farming.
