REDUCE WATER AND WASTEWATER consumption.

Industry to set ambitious targets?

It is important for industries to set reduction targets for water and wastewater. This helps to conserve water resources, reduce waste and pollution, and improve the overall sustainability of their operations. By setting and tracking these targets, industries can also identify areas for improvement and take proactive steps to reduce their impact on the environment.

As a sustainable solution provider, it is necessary to incorporate new water and waste management targets into the company's sustainability strategy. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of "Finite Material Neutrality," encompassing water and waste and raw materials, energy, and catalysts. India companies should reduce greenhouse gas emissions through science-based targets and minimise the (eco) toxic impact to meet the Net zero targets by 2070.?

A start can be made by keeping some targets to reduce - difficult but achievable:

To achieve a 20-30% decrease in freshwater usage, steps that can be taken include:

1. Implementing water-saving technologies, such as low-flow toilets and showerheads, in buildings and facilities.
2. Recycling greywater for non-potable purposes.
3. Conducting regular audits to identify and address water waste.
4. Educating employees and communities about the importance of water conservation.

To implement a 20-30% reduction in the amount of hazardous waste sent for disposal, steps that can be taken include:

1. Implementing a waste reduction program to minimize the amount of hazardous waste generated.
2. Recycling or reusing materials instead of disposing of them as hazardous waste.
3. Properly labeling, storing, and transporting hazardous waste to ensure safe and responsible disposal.

To implement a 20-30% reduction in the amount of non-hazardous waste sent for disposal, steps that can be taken include:

1. Implementing a waste reduction program to minimize the amount of non-hazardous waste generated.
2. Recycling or composting materials instead of sending them to a landfill.
3. Encouraging employees and communities to reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize waste.

Reducing freshwater consumption and waste generation is crucial in our efforts to minimise our environmental footprint and promote circularity. With freshwater scarcity becoming a global issue, it's our responsibility to reduce water usage and explore alternative sources. Additionally, we must minimise waste production and explore ways to reuse and recycle it into new products, either internally or by partnering with other organisations.

At Diva Envitec the sustainability targets are bold and absolute, and we will help the industry achieve them regardless of production growth. We have several new technologies and processes planned to make a significant impact to reach these targets.

Production plants often utilise water for a variety of functions, such as cooling, serving as a solvent for chemical reactions, transporting products, and as a medium for heat transfer. To minimise freshwater consumption, purifying and reusing wastewater is a viable solution. The industry recognises this core technology's significance and plans to invest in wastewater recycling initiatives at multiple production locations.

The key to minimising waste disposal is to implement circular solutions that convert waste streams into raw materials for the creation of new products. Leveraging residual streams and transforming them into new products has long been one of the industry's strengths. Creating circular solutions and turning waste into business opportunities aligns with Diva Envitec Pvt Ltd's vision of being a leading provider of sustainable solutions. In doing so, we are addressing a major challenge in our industry, which is to minimise the adverse effects on the environment and society, while providing innovative and sustainable solutions for our clients.
