Enviro-Stewards and Enermodal helped Stratus Vineyards, a producer of ultra-premium wines, to become: 1 st LEED certified winemaking facility in the world; 1 st LEED Canada-NC certified building under Canada Green Building Council; and to save 49% water and 42% energy relative to conventional construction 11
3. Ontario Winery P2 Project Great Lakes Regional Pollution Prevention Roundtable (GLRPPR) Environment Canada desired to equip Ontario wineries to assess and implement P2 12
A Concise and Practical P2 Approach Five Questions: 1. Who are Your Champions 2. What are Your Wastes 3. Why are Your Wastes Generated 4. Where can they be Improved 5. When should they be Implemented 13
Chapter 2. Who are Your Champions - Assembling Your Team 1. A passion for conservation work 2. Commitment and skills to follow through 3. Interpersonal skills to motivate 4. Support and endorsement of management 14
Chapter 3. What are Your Wastes - Quantifying and Prioritizing Example Rinsing a Bottling Vessel: an initial 1,000 L flush contains 9,000 mg/l BOD 5 (1,000 L) * 9,000 mg/l BOD 5 225,000 mg/l BOD 5 = 40L of wine in the rinse water 15
Chapter 4. Why are Your Wastes Generated - Root Cause Analysis
Chapter 5. Where can they be Improved - Conceptual Design of Alternatives 17
Chapter 6. When should they be Improved (Implementation Strategy) Net Present Value Calculated Based on: Installed Capital Cost Projected Savings over period (20 years) Assumed average interest rate (5%) Predicts the long term value of an alternative in present dollars ($) www.enviro-stewards.com 18
P2 Planning for Continuous Improvement (1) Commitment and Policy (6) Review, Evaluation and Improvement (2) Baseline Review P2 Planning (5) Monitoring and Reporting (3) Planning (4) Implementation www.enviro-stewards.com 19
Pollution Prevention Workshop Reducing Waste and Making Money Host: Cool Climate Oenology & Viticulture Institute Sponsors: Environment Canada & Wine Council of Ontario November 26, 2004 Workshop attendees accounted for more than 95% of Ontario s wine production 20
4. Atlantic Wine & Beer Industries Environment Canada s Atlantic Region desired to gain value from the manual and workshop materials Local Priorities: Demonstration Assessments Building Local Capacity Broader Industrial Reach Bilingual Presentation Follow on Tech Service 21
Demonstration Assessments Demonstration Assessments to develop local leaders, build local capacity & program credibility Jost Vineyards Sleeman Maritimes Case Studies from demo assessments presented at workshops in Nova Scotia & New Brunswick 22
83% Decrease in Wastewater Volume to be Treated 23
Production Savings: DE Filtration & Pad Filter (8,000 l/yr losses) Harvest Savings: Juice tub modification ($3,375/yr savings) Icewine lees ($485/yr) 24

divert 1,550 hl/yr to ethanol fuel recover 2,170 hl/yr as product >50% reduction in BOD to sewer 10 to 18% water savings 26
Atlantic Winery & Brewery Workshops: New Brunswick Workshop: 11 participants (30% of province s industries) Participants requested local demonstrations Nova Scotia Workshop: 24 participants (45% of province s industries) Two eco-efficiency assessments and one energy efficiency assessments completed by participants since the workshop
Lessons Learned: Credibility of Corporate Leaders Response to Local Priorities Importance of Local Demonstrations Importance of Partnership 28
Next Steps: At Environmental Summit 2005, Quebec Region expressed interest for it s cider, wine & beer industries British Columbia Region (Georgia Basin) and BC Wine Institute have expressed interest 29
