I’m thinking about using renewable: today we work on the entire industrial set-up such as 45%, but we have plants that they work 100% with renewables: in Hungary we have the largest photovaltic in Europe, as big as 22 football fields. I think about wasting water and to one of our factories in Mexico which works 100% with resorption, zero waste water».
