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.
