The Benefits Of Reusing Wastewater
Water is a resource that has been taken for granted for decades but is
now a critical focal point for many companies, communities and
governments as the earth faces a water crisis.
Only 2.5 percent of the world's water is fresh water, and of that, only
1 percent is accessible as much is trapped in glaciers and snowfields.
As a result, only a tiny fraction of the planet's water is available for
everyday use. By one estimate, global fresh water demand will exceed
supply by a staggering 40 percent in 2030 if current trends continue.
As corporate citizens, businesses must look at their
impact on the environment and assess how their operations affect the
communities they operate in and serve. By reducing their source water
requirements, food and beverage companies of any size can do their part
to reduce environmental impact, while reinforcing their corporate social
responsibility. Many companies also realize
substantial cost savings from water-related investments.
