Aguas Misioneras: Providing consumers with bottled and traceable Argentinian water
Aguas Misioneras is a state company in Argentina, wanted to create a traceability system so that bottled water delivered to supermarkets could be traced back to its actual well, in case of a recall.
Body
Working closely with GS1 Argentina, Aguas Misioneras implemented GS1 standards to uniquely identify its water products, locations (e.g., wells and plants) and logistics units so that it could track and trace products throughout its supply chain—from well to supermarket.
Aguas Misioneras’ mission is to not only package and distribute quality drinking water for its consumers, but also preserve water as a natural resource. Founded in 2009, the company has two industrial plants in San Javier and Santa Maria. Both are remotely located, far from human activities that might pollute the water, and comply with DRASTIC and GOD methodologies for assessing groundwater vulnerability. Neither plants capture water from the Guarani Aquifer System and both follow the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP).
