How much water is used to produce a bag of potato chips? The answer is not so simple!

Posted on June 14, 2019 by The VRG Blog Editor

The VRG received an email inquiry from a European reader about the amount of water needed to produce one bag of potato chips listed in our Save Our Water the Vegetarian Way brochure: http://www.vrg.org/environment/water_brochure.php. The Vegetarian Resource Group’s Research Manager, Jeanne Yacoubou, MS, answers this question in detail here: https://www.vrg.org/environment/potato_chips_water_footprint.htm
