Austchilli is an Australian owned fresh produce, production and packaging company, located at Bundaberg. The company saved water by installing a multifunctional water pipeline network which uses waste factory water to wash down farm machinery and field data stations which vary water and pump use according to crop requirements. The site is totally water self-sufficient with no potable water used on site. Finally, to minimise waste Austchilli adjusted their picking procedures to maximise the recovery of chilli for market consumption.
