CCE Wakefield

CCE Wakefield is a large soft drinks factory in West Yorkshire owned by Coca-Cola Enterprises UK; it is the largest soft-drinks factory in Europe (by volume of drinks produced).

[4] The site produces 6,000 cans of soft drinks per minute, which is 100 per second, and up to 2,200 PET bottles a minute (HDPE bottle caps); this works out to up to one billion litres of soft drink a year.

[5] The plant sources its water from the nearby Ardsley Reservoir which is 1.2 miles (2 km) to the west.

[7][8] It is situated on the north of the Wakefield 41 industrial estate,[9] next to the M1 motorway, about 0.62 miles (1 km) from junction 41.

The site has an area the size of 16 football pitches, but when aggregated with the company's own solar farm (1.5 miles (2.4 km) further north), the footprint covers 33 football pitches.
