Award-winning Program in Terneuzen, The Netherlands, Taps Municipal Wastewater for Industrial Processes
As fresh water supplies around the
world continue to shrink, efficient
water management becomes a
hallmark of a company?s
sustainability and responsibility.
More and more often, industry
teams up with municipal water
providers and utility companies
to look for alternatives to fresh
water usage in industrial processes.
Water recycling and reuse is one
solution ? especially in areas that
already struggle with shortages
of potable water from natural
sources. The town of Terneuzen,
in the Zeeland province of The
Netherlands, is one example of a
successful collaboration between
an industrial water user and the
water and utility companies.
